Never thought doodling on top of old posters woul end up being my artistic legacy
Call it foolishness, but I appreciate consistency in the posters within my movies library, and by consistency, I mean that the Latin American title in the database matches the one displayed on the poster (my OCD kicks in when I see in my library the classic title "mi pobre angelito" and the poster flaunts the heretical title of "home alone").

This is what I see when I read "home alone" |
Obviously, I understand that in its original language, there are more aesthetic options for psoters, but that doesn't mean we should settle for the third-world version of them. So, I'll share some of the posters I've come up with (the ones I found more readily available in the black hole of my downloads folder, where files go to die).
These ain't good chief. I settle for my doodles looking somewhat decent from a distance. Don't expect masterpieces; we're talking about someone whose only graphic talent is the shameless and ruthless use of artificial intelligence.
I warn you, they're full of errors and deep fried jpeg artifacts. Yet still, if you open your library, the poster reads "home alone" (eww), then, the pobre angelito is you.

The poster design I used as a base was only released in Spain, which uses the original title. In Latin America, the name was translated, but used the all blue design. It was just a matter of inserting the Latin title into the Spanish poster, and voila, problem solved. |

This movie only has translated posters for streaming services, of the kind that's automatically generated. And, although not very subtle, I liked the design shown here from the true poster. I simply erased the title and tried to match the font. It ended up quite messy, but I find it oddly appealing. |

There's a scarcity of Latin posters for this movie from around its release. There are several for streaming services tho, but I happened to like this particular design. Fortunately, I stumbled upon a sample from which I clumsily extracted the tagline and title. I applied a bit of denoise to bring some uniformity since the resolution isn't the highest (though without denoise, it looks charmingly vintage). |

I'm not a big fan of the original posters for the old 007 movies, with their comic strip style, but for the sake of consistency, I wanted to keep them. In this particular case, I couldn't find a version with the Latin title, only the Spanish title, so I grabbed it from a promotional banner. |
