The majority of Nollywood movie posters simply use photoshop, picmix applications among others to pair characters of a movie together, creating posters they consider 'suitable' promotion materials.

While aimed at catching attention, a good poster should be artistic, attractive, and creative.

We have put together a list of our 12 best Nollywood posters in the last three years.
