Same colors, a bit of imagination, similar fonts, and a pinch of fantasy, brought me to redesign a version of the poster for THE SHINING, remastered for SN: now starring @k00b, @DarthCoin, @siggy47, @Undisciplined, @Coinsreporter, @grayruby, @kr, @ekzyis and @MaxAWebster. A str-lightning laser eyes for the striker couldn't be missed.

Saul Bass & Stanley Kubrick: the creative battle for THE SHINING's poster

While doing some research for my next 31-Word Horror Movie Review entry #1249488 and find out some interesting stories behind the production of this cinematographic masterpiece. Skipping all esoteric symbolism cautiously embedded on each scene, the most interesting pick was that the process to design this original poster, designed by Soul Bass, has been like a ping pong game with the director Stanley Kubrick with more than 300 backs and forwards. They got cough on an illusionary-endless feedback loop1. That's why probably the result has been just impactful as the movie itself.

Love this! Well done @deSign_r!
Especially enjoyed the link about Kubrick and Bass's back and forth. I didn't know the history behind the poster at all. It's such a weird poster. Definitely stands out. Personally, I like your addition of the laser eyes. Although, perhaps they are too thin? Not sure.

I enjoy finding these little hidden gems of history affecting the final result. For the laser eyes, I did it quickly, I should have followed the poster dotted-style instead of these two straight lines.
