English artist and designer Olly Moss was working with Gallery1988 to craft the official 85th Annual Oscars Poster. One-sheet features 85 different Oscar statuettes inspired by the Best Picture winners from 1927 to 2012.
Moss took a fun, and detail-oriented approach to the task and the result is a real achievement.
He said:
I worked with the Academy to create the official 85 Years of Oscars poster. The brief was one of the hardest I’ve ever had; find a way to reference every single Best Picture winner from the last 85 years.
The Oscars will be handed out on Sunday, February 24th, 2013, at the Dolby Theater at Hollywood & Highland Center and televised live on the ABC Television Network.
