So for the past few weeks, I've been working on a project to create a hand-made film
poster on a film of my choice along with taking inspiration from a
country's style of poster
I haven't had chance to upload my research and ideas yet but I will do very soon!
Chosen Film: Back to The Future
Chosen Country: Cuba
I chose this film as it is my favourite film, and I can literally quote along with it, I've seen it that many times. I notice that my designs are thought to be too complicated in past projects, so I chose Cuba because their posters are quite minimalist.
Anyway, it was this minimalistic quality that caught my eye on this newspaper article I found when scrolling through earlier today. It is about a designer called Michal Krasnopolski, who has designed a series of film posters using a series of very simple geometric shapes whilst still making it obvious what the film is.
Here are two examples of these posters. Like I said, very mininalist! I really love how the shapes are incomplete and quite abstract, but it is so relevant to the film once you read the title. This minimalism is what makes it eye catching, and it causes people to look closer due to the simplicity, along with the title being quite small in comparison.
Two more examples from this series. They are wildly simple but unique and engaging at the same time. The 101 Dalmatians poster is particularly clever as the number being placed this way could also be looked at as a very simple portrayal of a dog. I can see that the artist uses colour to relate to associated colours to the film as well to add more association to his designs.
I'm glad I found this artist because it is relevant to the project brief as a whole, and it relates to the Cuban poster style by being colourful and simple with geometric shapes. I could definitely take influence from him in my own designs.
