The Criterion Collection Finds a New Groove

July 11, 2011

The Criterion Collection, technical perfecter of some of the world’s great historical and contemporary films, recently released two works by French director, Louis Malle. The reinvented, illustrated covers that adorn Black Moon (1975) and Zazie dans le Métro (1960) were created by Yann Legendre. Criterion has not only continued to repackage these films with meticulous care regarding additional content and visual refinement, but they have also purposefully embraced graphic design as a way to add value for the consumers. Legendre’s fresh approach to image-making and typography help make these old films a new experience.
