It was announced that Struzan will receive The Saul Bass Award at THR's Key Art Awards on October 23rd. The Key Art Awards is the awards competition for advertising and communications. If you could slap a poster, key art, teaser art, what have you on or around something there is an award for it. If you designed virtually anything else (web, apps, social media et al) that advertised a film or show then you stood a chance to win one of these.
The Hollywood Reporter's Key Art Awards is proud to announce the creation of the Saul Bass Award to honor talented graphic designers and filmmakers that are creating their own iconic and influential style. The recipient of the Saul Bass Award will be someone whose body of work stands out amongst the competition and inspires others in the industry.
Struzan has illustrated posters for some of the great trilogies: Star Wars, Back to the Future and Indiana Jones. There are also the cult classics like Big Trouble in Little China and Blade Runner. With over 200 movie titles to his credit you can pretty much pick a popular franchise and chances are he has done a poster for it.
I've included some of my favorite examples, films from my formative years especially.
