British artist Brian Bysouth is responsible for this great design for the classic fantasy film Highlander (opens in a new tab) that spawned several sequels and TV series. It’s significantly more interesting than the dull US poster (opens in a new tab). This Bysouth design can also be found in a one sheet format.
During my interview with Brian this poster was discussed:
I like it because of the amount of detail you can see, much like your painting for Highlander (opens in a new tab).
Thank you, I was pleased with that one. It was an enjoyable job and, fortunately, when asked to do a design for that type of film I was usually quick to identify what the key image should be. Phil Howard-Jones, the advertising director at EMI, who I did the work for, liked it very much and eventually he kindly returned it to me.
The trailer for the film can be seen on YouTube (opens in a new tab).
