THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS OF A POSTER ON WWW.POSTERISSIM.COM

 

There are sometimes different versions of the same original poster. These different versions were displayed at the same time. Depending on the version, this is referred to as model A, B... A “Regular” or “Variant” version in the more recent world of alternative posters. This is mainly the case when promoting a film. In the case of advertising or tourism posters, it's usually the language used that differs.

The artist may be different, but so may the visual, the colors or the message to be conveyed. The printer, in principle, remains the same.

The number of posters printed may also differ, making one model rarer and therefore more sought-after than the other. Model A of Les Tontons flingueurs, designed by Siry, is well remembered, while model B, designed by Jouineau-Bourduge, is much less so.

 

Below are just a few examples :

A re-released poster may also be different, but it's not an original poster because it doesn't correspond to the first official release promoting the work, event, location or product. It is nonetheless of real interest, as it can sometimes be more successful than an original poster.

When www.posterissim.com offers a re-released poster, this is indicated in the product sheet on our site.

You will regularly find posters in different versions on www.posterissim.com. There may also be more subtle nuances. If you have any questions, we'll be happy to help.
