Composition

- Rule of thirds

- Golden Rule

- Rules of Design from Paul Rand the godfather of modern design

- Positive and Negative space

Things to consider:

We are using the format of an Album cover so our viewer is already aware that the image has something to do with music and the music industry.

What we are looking at:

- Color

- Composition (placement of visual elements in 2d space...positive and negative space, rule of thirds)

- Image - subject matter

- Image - style

- Font - literal reading

- Font - style

Each of these elements becomes a "signifier" to the viewer. Which means from these visual elements we will try to make sense of the image. In this case what genre of music might this CD contain?

Project 3

ART213 Spr 2020

Movie Poster

description:
Create 3 different versions of a movie poster for a movie you’d like to see.

How to Create Project 3

Part 1

a) Write out your Movie idea! First pick a movie genre. (Horror, Sci-Fi, Romantic comedy) Then you need to figure out 'who' the antagonist and protagonist are, 'where' the movie takes place, 'when' the movie takes place, finally the 'what' and 'why' of the story.
b) Look up and download 10 examples of posters that inspire you

c) Compile a list of important information that needs to be on the poster including: movie title, main actors/actresses, film company, producers, date, credits, ext… (use the 10 examples you downloaded as a guide)

d) Collect a variety of imagery to work with for your poster

 * Make sure to find the largest images possible

Part 2

a) Create a template for your poster 11x17” at 180dpi

b) Put in guides for the unprintable boarder and for the middle

c) Create 3 different versions of your movie poster

Part 3
- Create 3 variants of the best movie poster and the comments derived from the critique

Key things to Remember:

* Work on the poster template

* Duplicate important layers

* Save often

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

things to consider:
First you want to figure out a genre for your movie. Is it a Romantic comedy, Sci-fi, Fantasy, Horror, Comedy, Drama, Action, ect… Then look at and collect movie posters of that genre. Consider things like colors used, font type, text placement, use of actors/actresses images, are they full body or close up, what is their gesture.

Details:
all posters should be set for 11x17 inches at 180 dpi
