looking for a collection poster for classic live action disney movies

I've slowly been ripping my DVDs and I have about 9 classic live action disney movies ranging from the early 50s to the late 70s so I figured it was time to create a collection for them. Im looking for a cool poster to use for the collection but so far I haven't been able to find anything I like. I have searched this sub but none of the posters I found match what Im looking for. I would really like something similar in style to the old 50s or 60s theatrical posters for disney live action movies like moon spinners, parent trap, that darn cat, or summer magic

does anybody know where I can find something like that ?

also, why wouldn't the sub let me post using the 'request' flair? I was prompted saying I need to follow rule 3 of adding flair, but I had flaired it. it seems like it only recognizes 3 of the available flairs instead of all of them? is that normal?

Star Wars Complete Saga Posters

I've been working on my own media library, and for series I like to get consistent poster styles for the whole thing. For Star Wars though, I couldn't find anything that I liked that covered all 9 movies and had what I wanted. I really like the Struzan posters, but of course he did not make posters for the sequels.

The sequel posters here, for the most part, come from Paul Shipper. The TLJ poster was the Dolby Cinema poster he made, but I cut out the black borders to make it actually Struzan-style. The TRoS poster is the international poster for the movie, and I didn't change anything other than the logo. It already has the black border made into the design. So that was nice. I really love these two posters. I love painted posters more than digital ones.

TFA was interesting. Shipper doesn't have a poster for that movie, but has character art. The poster you see here is from Ethan Pro, which looks like it uses some of the art from Paul Shipper. The overall design and structure is from Ethan Pro though. Pro has posters for TLJ and TRoS, but I didn't like them that much, at least not more than Shipper's. I did a little bit of editing on the TFA poster to make it more consistent with the other sequel posters.

For the logo choices, I like the sequel logos the best. And I liked that they had different colors 8 and 9. The only thing I thought was missing was the episode number. And for that I looked to the old dvd intros that had the episode number come up behind the title. I decided to do that but make it a solid color that matched the main logo but darker.

For color choices, I thought making the first of each trilogy yellow made sense. It's the main color associated with the logo and each of those movies is pretty structurally similar. For the remaining movies, I didn't want to go farther than secondary colors, which left three colors, but for four movies. Thought white made the most sense for the extra one as it's not a super specific color and it suits Empire so very well. Green for RoTJ is pretty obvious I think. As is orange for RotS. And that leaves purple for AoTC. Which isn't super accurate, but I kinda like it. The Coruscant underworld feels very purple to me. There's Mace Windu's lightsaber. And on a themes note, it's a mix between red and blue, dark and light. Purple can represent Anakin starting to turn dark.

Would love to hear thoughts on these. I am very much an amateur at photo editing, so they might be awful. I definitely plan to change them more in the future, but this was my first go.
