===================================

There was a time when the art of painting film posters (http://www.himalyanindia.com/dir/Shopping/Entertainment/Television_and_Movies/Posters/Movies/) was a thriving business. In the absence of television, cinegoers used to visit theatres on the basis of the impression created by these posters.

Today in the time of television (http://www.indiabook.com/News_and_Media/Television/),internet,radio and other means of publicity posters have lost their significance.
Poster making is such a specialised art that need to be encouraged.Especially, in hand made posters, the imagination of the painter is involved.
The publicity material prepared today with the help of real photographs simply do not have that magic.

Do you agree that the hand made posters made by painters have less magic and today's real photographs posters have more magic???

i think today's photograph have more magic. Posters created a gloomy impression and not so good. I think they should instead make posters or diagrams of movies separately and put them beside the photographs so that they get employed too.

I too agree with you beauty spot that the hand made posters made by the painters looks very beautiful and they create more magic than the photograph posters.

In the hand made posters (http://www.himalyanindia.com/dir/Shopping/Visual_Arts/Posters_and_Prints/) the imagination and feelings of a painter creates such magic that when we see the posters we can imagine the whole concept of the movie;and the impression created by the painter on the characters faces is such that we could guess that the character in movie is playing a nagative role or a positive one.

Today in the world of new tehnologies when there are ao many TV channels,cable,internet and other means of making publicity of movies the artists and painters are going through unemployment and financial crisis.

The India film industry (http://www.indiabook.com/cgi-bin/links/search.cgi?query=Bollywood&nh=2) should take some measures in the favour of such painters and artists who have serving the industry since past when there was no means of publicity.
