Assignment:     Due date: May 13th

You will create a “Movie Poster”.  We will do a drawing to select a movie and you will design a movie poster for that movie. Be creative with artwork, text, etc. don’t just copy and paste making it look just like the one you find on the internet. Layer 1 should be your Background layer** —This has to be your original background.  When deciding on your movie poster design, keep in mind these 5 elements:

  • GENRE: Does your poster clue us in on whether the movie is scary, funny, action packed?
  • TITLE: Is it unique, meaningful, and pertinent?
  • TAGLINE:  AKA Slogan….make it short and sweet, yet powerful…
  • TARGET AUDIENCE: Who is the specific group interested in watching this movie? What can you do in your poster to appeal them?
  • IMAGE: Does you imagery tell a story?  Give us insight into what this movie is about!

I’ll be looking for the “COMPLETE PACKAGE” and grading you based on these elements. Poster must be school appropriate.
