#onthisday in 1961 I submitted this design to 20th Century Plops’ new gardening films offshoot 20th Century Fox Problem In The Back Garden (later shortened to 20th Century Fox, then later to Fox, and later again to WTF). They loved it! But the film was never released, as the director left the negatives in the Shepperton branch of Boots and forgot about them. What a fool! We never heard anything of Mr. Stanley Kubrick after that - and rightly so! #photocopy #photocopyart #photocopier #blackandwhite #graphicdesign #design #collage #typography #filmposter #poster #posterdesign #movie #movieposter #movieposters #kubrick #stanleykubrick
