Alternate Movie Poster

1. DESIGN FUNDAMENTALS de Beaufort
ASSIGNMENT: Alternate Movie Poster
Your assignment is to create an ALTERNATE movie poster designs for a movie of your choice.
You may chose any movie from any time period as long as it is an actual movie and not an
imaginary film, novel, or something other than a movie. Television shows are not movies, for
example.
OBJECTIVES: A successful movie poster will utilize all of the design principles effectively. It will
be visually engaging and have visual unity. You must create a balance between repetition and
variety and think about the effect of color, directional forces, visual balance, and all of the things
that we have studied.
Please chose an appropriate font for your works. All too often a doofy font can ruin a poster- we
are not making advertisements for the afterschool Drama Club for example.
Think about distilling the ideas of the movie into an essential idea that can be represented simply.
Remember you need a visual hook. Simplicity works better than complexity-this is not an artwork
or painted version of the project. A poster must be graphic and simple and have an immediate
appeal otherwise people will quickly move on.
