Movies Reimagined as Vintage Books

Designer Matt Stevens works on a personal project about love of cinema and reading

Matt Stevens is an American designer and illustrator who is primarily engaged in brand identity and editorial publishing. Matt prefers to move away from very formal processes and work with intuitive approaches.

One of his personal projects is titled Good Movies as Old Books. In this series, with the simple criteria of choosing movies that he is passionate about, Matt redesigns movie posters as if they were vintage books.

In these imaginary book covers, Matt preserves key elements from each film, associating them with aesthetics from decades past.

The wear details and labels on each book add a very special realism to each image.
