You Won Cannes The blogger made the point that the Savages poster is kind of a rip off of the Babel poster. Looking at them together, I would say he has a point. The series of horizontal images juxtaposed against the vertical title in white. And compare the first image in Savages; a long shot of people set against a desert like background with the last shot in Babel, also a long shot of people set against a desert like background.
There is a difference in that for Babel, the designer set the type slightly off kilter; a great design trick that speaks volumes about the chaos of the story.
I think both posters are eye-catching and do a pretty nice job of highlighting the key actors in these ensemble pieces.
Did the designer see Babel and make a conscious decision to copy the design? Or is he or she unaware of the inspiration? Do you care?
Savages, based on Don Winslow's novel, opens July 6.
