Assignment 2: Making your film poster


Assignment 2 Film poster

Open a new document in Photoshop and call it Film Poster.
Remember that your poster can be portrait or landscape.
See examples from last year below:






Remember to revisit your conventions to use as a check-list for your own poster and use your sketch to see what you have planned for placement of the conventions.

Steel tongs font

The institutional information at the bottom of a film poster is in a very distinctive font - you can't make a film poster look authentic without it...



Luckily, we have downloaded the font on to school computers - it is called Steel Tongs. The way the font works is that CAPITAL letters work normally while lower case letters each correspond to one of the movie credits ('Directed By...' 'Written By...' etc.)
You need to use the Steel Tongs guide to see which letter you need for each credit - there are plenty online, this link has one website you can use.


Note: we have an older version of the Steel Tongs font so not every credit is possible - if you can't find the one you need, just change the credit. It won't cost you any marks!
