New Dad 2011: Movie Poster Style Design

Looking for a funny way to celebrate the new dad in your life, but tired of the same-old "dad to be 2011" designs? My husband, like many dads, is a total pop culture geek who loves movies. I wanted to design a unique dad shirt for him, that captured the inner movie buff. I have a long love of classic movie posters, and lately my husband has turned me on to minimalist movie posters.

I wanted to create a set of gifts for pop culture movie buff fathers that captured the aesthetic of a movie poster with a little dad-based humor thrown in. The full design is really beautiful in a bright blue that sets off the minimalist baby footprints.



The teaser line at the top reads, "Baby: Everything Changes" and in a spoof of traditional movie posters, the text below reads, "From the director of 'Bachelor' and 'Husband' comes a new film starring This Guy and Mommy. New Daddy Pictures presents a Fatherhood Productions Film." And the very bottom announces "Coming Soon 2011."
