Drew Struzan was an American artist and commercial illustrator. During his career, Struzan painted more than 150 movie posters, including those for The Shawshank Redemption, Blade Runner, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, the Indiana Jones franchise, Back to the Future, Harry Potter, and Star Wars film series.

Struzan was known for his airbrushed one-sheets style, a process he began early in his career while designing posters for B movies. The technique was admired by film directors including Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, both frequent collaborators.
