These BAFTA Best Film posters are beautiful

These BAFTA Best Film posters are beautiful photo



Here we have a bunch of posters created by illustrator Jonathan Burton for this year's British Academy of Film and Television Arts awards, and they are pretty wonderful. Each poster features one of the Best Film nominees, Argo, Les Miserables, Life of Pi, Lincoln and Zero Dark Thirty. Also included are two illustrations Burton did for the tickets for the BAFTA awards.

All of the posters are pretty cool in their own right, though I particularly love the one for Argo. Not only because it features a specifically tense and gut-wrenching plot point, but also because the illustration itself looks so dynamic and the point-of-view is spot on.
