Movie posters are somewhat less prominent than they used to be, but they are still widely used as promotional artworks for feature films. When designing a movie poster, some artists opt for minimalistic, other movie posters use computer graphics from the film as the basis. Some, all, or even none of the plot can be revealed via the movie poster.
