Movie posters:



This is the poster of the movie Jaws. What I think is unique about the framing is that it so effectively conveys what danger the unsuspecting swimmer is in. The stark contrast between the blue of the water and the red of the title definitely had some thought behind it as well, as it really makes it pop.



This is a poster of the movie Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb. Visually, the bomber planes flying over form converging vectors which symbolize movement and action. Meanwhile in the foreground, the plot of the movie is pretty effectively portrayed with the world divided in two and two important (one a bit more preoccupied than the other) looking people talking on the phone.



This movie poster catches the eye because of it's great use of space. The title and lead actress are prominently featured in large type. The rest of the poster is white, except for a dead body and a police officer observing it. Because excessive use of white space symbolizes tranquility and stability, it's so funny to see that the only thing to interrupt this space is something that would evoke opposite reactions.

The movie I'd want to make a poster of would be a high school football flick. In this, my buddy Gabe is the team mascot of a high school with a big athletic program. In a strange turn of events, Gabe has to go from being the mascot to being the quarterback with 0:03 left on the clock, behind 5 points and 2 yards away from the end zone. The poster would be my buddy's face with half a mascot's helmet and half a football helmet.
