Your in-class poster assignment glued printed off and glued into your sketchbook. At least 5 pages of preliminary sketching work in your sketchbooks for your environmental point of display / advertisement and movie poster. This needs to be a combo of mind maps (aka associations) and sketches. You also need to have your poster in draft form on the computer. Make sure that you have contacted your director of your film and that you get the information that you need for your project. Don't forget about some easy extra credit is also due. See specifications from last post concerning that project.
DUE THURSDAY (April 9th):

MOVIE POSTER Requirements
Poster needs to be 11x17 - in color if design calls for it.
The title of the poster needs to be addressed in some sort of logotype treatment or logo itself.
The poster must also have some sort of tagline addressing or enticing the viewer to watch the movie. The addition of awards and honors might also be included on the poster - must be true however (no fake ones...aka Toronto film festival, etc)
The poster must also include information concerning: the director, writer, producer, music, main stars of cast, production company logo and or studio.
Environmental Pt of Display
If you choose to go this route. It needs to be to scale. Can be a dimensional cardboard cut out that fits within the theme of your movie and or poster and or it can be a 2-D cutout that stands up. Use foam board and mount your design to the piece with spray fixative. Be very careful of craftsmanship. Ragged cuts and loose points will not be acceptable and will be subtracted from your overall grade of the piece.
Newspaper / Magazine Ad
You will need both a newspaper advertisement at 1/4 of a page in black and white and a full page magazine ad in color. This should go with the theme of your poster and should not be exactly the same as your poster. It should be the development of a campaign that reinforces your brand and is specifically designed to the specifications. If you choose this option be sure to include your critique what the publication is that you intend these to be placed and why your design reflects the ideals of that target market. All of these need to be framed and mounted for presentation as well in a separate clip frame from the poster.
Don't forget to write your summary as well. There will be specifics concerning the style of the summary given in class on Tuesday.
