Students will participate in the creative process to make a fictitious movie poster from conception to final print. Students will research movie poster design, draw up multiple sketches, and research and practice new Photoshop techniques. The end result of the poster will show their proficiency in Adobe Photoshop and their understanding of new graphic design concepts. You will be make TWO versions of your poster. In graphic design, sometimes the second version of something turns out better than the first! Whichever assignment choice you choose, you will make two versions of that poster design. Assignment Choice #1: Create a convincing movie poster for a completely fictitious movie. Assignment Choice #2: Create a convincing movie poster based off of an existing movie, but change it into a "pun" or play on words. For example, instead of "Planet of the Apes" it would be "Planet of the Snapes" from Harry Potter. Assignment Choice #3: Create a convincing movie poster for a movie adapted from *classic literature. Come up with new, hip title. For example, Shakespeare’s titles for his plays lacked the contemporary wit that we have grown accustomed to. Therefore, think of a more creative title for a modern rendition for the movie taken from a famous book or play. Shakespeare’s play “Romeo & Juliet” could instead be called “Loved to Death”, “Hidden Love"”, or “Girl meets boy”. *Having trouble remembering what some of the most famous works of literature are? Then, check out a listing of literary classics on this web-site: http://www.literatureclassics.com/ Once you have chosen which assignment you want to do, then PICK A GENRE: Give considerable thought to the type of genre your movie will be. Will it be an action movie? Or science fiction? A horror movie will have completely different style of images and text than an action movie or one about romance. PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
