Michal Krasnopolski: Designer¿s brilliant minimalist posters for classic films using just a circle and stripes Michal Krasnopolski made modernist film posters based on simple grid Design, 33, said the 'possibilities are theoretically unlimited' A Polish designer has recreated classic film posters based solely on a minimalist grid of a circle within a square containing diagonal lines. Michal Krasnopolski, 33, said the aim of the 'less is more' challenge was to create a modernist, minimalist series of posters for film buffs. Some of his ingenious designs illustrate the films' themes with just one or two lines. A New Hope: The large circle illustrates the Death Star spaceship from the Star Wars film The Empire Strikes Back: The designer recreates the 'hyperdrive' moment from the Star Wars film Return of the Jedi: These two crossed lines reflect the lightsabre battles of the Star Wars film In one, he evokes the image of Superman using just a red diagonal line on a blue background, simulating the superhero flying through the sky. And just one white line on a red background represents a line of heroin for the Pulp Fiction poster. Two crossed diagonal lines, one red, one green, on a black background gives the appearance of clashing lightsabres for the Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi poster. While The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring is illustrated by a simple golden circle on a dark green background. Others are more complex. Mr Krasnopolski uses half the circle and part of a diagonal line from his basic grid to create an umbrella shape which illustrates Singin' In The Rain. Superman: Michal Krasnopolski uses just one diagonal red line on a blue background to emulate the superhero flying Jaws: Using just three lines in two colours, the designer creates an image of a shark's fin going through water Pulp Fiction: The single white line represents the line of heroin Uma Thurman takes in the film Singin' In The Rain: A semi circle and a diagonal line create the iconic umbrella from the musical Full Metal Jacket: A soldiers helmet is drawn from just two semi circles on a khaki background He also joins three of the lines to create a triangle - making a shark's fin shape for his Jaws poster. He said: 'It surprised me how many posters I could create based on this very simple approach; the possibilities are theoretically unlimited.' The artist and graphic designer lives in Warsaw, Poland and has a Master's degree from the Academy of Fine Arts in Lodz. He usually works with the advertising industry creating campaigns and packaging. Mr Krasnopolski has won several awards for his design work.
