How to design a movie poster.

Poster design tips:

• design the poster to make who ever is looking at it want to see the film (perhaps poorly worded) by this I mean don't design it to look like a work of art but something that will catch peoples eye and temp their minds.
• make the title big and clear in order to partially achieve first point. don't use fonts or colours that stop the title from popping out.
• make sure that everything that we put on the poster is what you imagined it to be. e.g. if we decide that we don't think the title will fit the poster then we could change it.
• stick to generic conventions. don't stray too far from what makes the poster look like it fits the films genre.
• don't feature the actors (show their faces) in the poster because no one will take notice of who is in it if the film is independent.
• go for a single strong image that effectively conveys the films central idea or conflict. same as before the actors needn't be mentioned
• avoid using too many colours. only use 2 or 3 colours, not including shades, to create a bold image.
