Movie Poster

Process

I started this project by brainstorming movies and sketching different options. Once I decided on Frozen, I thought back to a previous tutorial that I have done. It was a firefly brush tutorial but I knew I could manipulate it to make it appear as snow. I applied the brush to text and used what I learned from the "working with type" tutorial to add icicles. I added the snowflake inside the "o" and moved onto the next step.

I laid out a grid. Creating the snow and icicles at the top was very difficult. I used the snow brush but manipulated it more to make it thicker. Then, I created and added the icicles. Once I did that, I added the random snowflakes in the background, still using the snow brush.

Finally, I added the snowflake. I used the snow brush again and manipulated it until it looked how I wanted it to. I had a few different options, including a swirl but ultimately, I decided on a simple snowflake.

What I Learned

I learned how to manipulate brushes. I also learned how to create straight lines with brushes. I learned a lot about Saul Bass. I learned a lot about movie posters. I learned a lot from the "working with type" tutorial. I learned a lot about manipulating text.

Favorite Part

My favorite part of this project was creating the individual elements to create a cohesive poster. I liked that I created everything by myself. I loved manipulating the brush.

Boundaries

It wasn't difficult for me to meet the creative boundaries. It was easy to choose a movie from the past five years. It was easy to have it inspired by Saul Bass. I used three different shades of blue, repeated. All of the elements on my poster reflect the story. I was able to create a custom graphic as well.
