Movie Poster

Over the pass week or two I have been working on a movie poster. I chose to do "Psycho" by Alfred Hitchcock because I love the movie and I love some of his other works too. Our only limitations was we had to base our movie poster off the works of Saul Bass.



Saul Bass worked as a Graphic Designer, Title Designer, and Film Director in the 20th century. He is most notable for his minimalist style he uses in his posters. He only uses 3-5 colors and around 1-3 elements from the movie in his posters. I myself love minimalist style and try to convey it in a lot of my work. Below are some of Saul Bass's works.

    Wow Michael! Love this post. Hitchcock, though he is know for c-rate horror movies, is actually one of the world's top directors based on how he changed the way we see and think about film. I grew up on this stuff and also inspired much of my direction as a photographer at KCAI.
    Your poster is simple, to the point, and reflects the spirit of the movie. Well done!

    Love your poster idea Mike! Your use of color really conveyed a good message and got the point of the movie across. Very simplistic yet give you enough information to understand what the movie is about. Great work!
