Celebrating Graphic Designer Bill Gold...

20 May 2020 1 min read By Adam Kennedy

This year, prolific graphic designer Bill Gold would have been 99 years old. In a career spanning seventy years this flamboyant artist produced designs and illustrations for thousands of movie posters. 

We will cover his work in more detail in a later blog post, but, as today marks the third anniversary of his passing, here are a few of our favourite Bill Gold designed posters and a wonderful short film from CBS.

This short film from CBS Sunday Morning aired in March 2018, just a couple of months before Gold's passing. (You may need to skip an advert or two.) 

 

 

 

Such an astonishing career. We will cover more of it in future blog posts.
