Shameless Or Genius?

Went to the cineplex this weekend as I always do, and while I was walking through the lobby I spotted this poster for the upcoming movie The Snowman. It's a film about a serial killer (dubbed "The Snowman" of course) who leaves notes on his victims that taunt the police.

Obviously the poster's supposed to look like one of these notes, which I have to admit is kind of clever. On the other hand, it couldn't have taken the graphic designer more than five minutes to slap this thing together. He probably knocked it out around 9am and then took a four hour lunch before going home early.

I don't know whether to denounce the artist as a shiftless and brazen hack, or praise him as a bona fide genius.
