Tidbit #2.

This tidbit is a focus on the absolutely incredible world of Polish movie posters.

It is safe to say that Polish movie posters are among the finest in the world. Up until the last ten years (or so) Polish designers were given free reign to create radically different and diverse promotional artwork for the latest cinema releases. Nowadays things are different, in that Polish poster artwork is a carbon copy of it's western counterpart ... only with translated titles. Nevertheless, the posters of yesteryear are abundant in amount and very much well worth seeking out.

Example; My favourite movie poster of all time, by Leszek Zebrowski.

Wow, that poster is actually quite scary. In fact, it gets scarier the more you look at it. But then again, "The Polish" are a scary people in general. lol
