I quite agree with you. I've actually been surprised by the evolution of 20th century album covers and movie posters, at least the ones from Hollywood. Some of my favorite old movies like His Girl Friday and Double Indemnity, have what I would describe as exceptionally plain, nondescript, or even boring original posters that reveal almost nothing about the dramatic plots of the films and only focus on the names of the stars.

It's tempting to create ones with more information or eye-catching imagery, but not fully accurate to the time, so it's a careful balance. Thanks so much for your response!
