14 Alternative Drive Posters
The one-sheets that could have been...

Voted by Empire's writers as their best film of 2011, Drive is one of those achingly cool movies that's destined to become a cult classic. The kind of movie, in fact, that film buffs will hang posters of in their bedrooms for decades to come. So when we got the chance to speak to Rich Andrews of Empire Design - no relation - to talk us through his work on creating Drive's poster campaign, we jumped at the chance. Guiding us through the alternate versions of the final design, Rich explains the ins and outs of making Baby Goose look extra, extra cool...

"We wanted to try a really modern, cleaner look here. Obviously, the quote stood out for us, and we do sometimes put quotes on posters, but they’re not often as good as this one. I think we ended up using the quote on a press ad, as it happens."

"In many ways, the Driver is such a simple character – and that quote just sums up his role in the film, reflecting on how he’s such a straightforward character with such a straightforward quote."

The second ones the best ! I Love the colour selection. Blue, Deep orange, Yellow and a hint of purple and Brown (Ryans Glasses). Really 80's. Read More
