Now showing…your FINAL project. You will craft a movie poster in Photoshop that will feature a fictional movie title.
Each of you will draw from the hat to pick two pieces of info:
1. click here and choose a movie title from the list
2. choose at least two actors to star in your film – here’s a starter list if you want inspiration
YOU get to choose:
-what kind of movie this is
-the style of your design
-the images included in your design
And use your chosen movie title and movie star as the focus of your poster.
The basics: make the dimensions of the poster 11″ X 17″ inches and 180 dpi. It may be portrait or landscape (think about the orientation of most posters). Your poster must include the following:
1. movie title and tagline
2. the names of high profile cast members
3. credits (director, studio, etc)
4. rating
5. run time (how long is the movie?)
6. at least four different images that are combined using layer masks, filters, opacity and blending modes.
