Mr. Tomlinson's Tech Classes
Movie Poster Assignment
Movie Poster Design
You must create a movie poster using Photoshop elements.
The theme of this movie is open to your own interpretation. Anything goes (ie: horror, romantic, comedy, adventure, sci-fi, etc), the goal is to convey an idea of what the movie is about and to invoke interest in the viewer. You may use whatever style as well, painting, illustration, photography, photo manipulation, etc, or combinations of all. Students must portray themselves in the movie poster with a theme that relates to some aspect of their lives.
Specifics and Rules:
1. Final Image Size: 8 X 10 inches as a jpeg (this is a must, anything else will NOT be accepted). Be sure to save both .psd and .jpg versions!
2. No inappropriate content and your picture must be on the cover. HIGH RESOLUTION PICTURES ONLY, nothing copied and pasted from the web will be accepted…if it’s blurry, the resolution is too low.
3. Try to be as authentic in the design of the poster as possible, check out these resources for ideas: http://www.moviepostershop.com, http://www.movieposters.com
*****You are required to incorporate at least one effect from the following sites into your poster and
document what technique you used*****
