Great movie quotes are a timeless device for connecting people.  When a quote is overhead, those who are fans of a certain film have no choice but to delight in its memory and usually will respond with a quote of their own… remarkably either from that film or from another.  It is a unusual social phenomenon, but it is true… particularly among us Star Wars fans.

So today’s entry is from a Vietnam War movie cult favorite… “Full Metal Jacket”.

This is my rifle. There are many others like it, but this one is mine. My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy, who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will. Before God I swear this creed: my rifle and myself are defenders of my country, we are the masters of our enemy, we are the saviors of my life. So be it, until there is no enemy, but peace. Amen.”

Now take that quote and create a beautifully crafted poster design and you have a film masterpiece to hang on your wall.  Well, that is exactly what British graphic designer Livia Lucie did.  From the flat, drab color choice, to the exquisite typographical design of the quote… this is a must-have for any film freak and for every designer out there to take note of.  This is how it is done people…
