Spellbinding Design...Well...Maybe...

Just in time for Halloween! I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist posting this. Okay, okay, I know... it's not the best example of Graphic Design, and that's the whole point of this blog: to show great examples of Graphic Design. It may not be the best, but it certainly serves it's purpose well in this design! If anyone has seen this movie, they know just how hilarious it is, and the cover reflects that very well. This cheesy DVD cover has an over-sized moon as the backdrop of the town. The title is a typical sci-fi/fantasy Disney styled serif font, somewhat resembling the Harry Potter logo. The image of the three Sanderson witch sisters is hilarious, especially Bette Midler character's lips! It's all topped off with the corny special effects fake lightning powers coming from her finger tips. A cheesy cover for a cheesy movie is the whole point of this design. The function of this cover is to spike a humorous tone and get people to purchase the movie. It's one of my favorite Halloween flicks, and if you haven't seen it, you definitely need to check it out! I couldn't find out who exactly did the artwork, but it is owned by Disney Enterprises, Inc.
