CLO: Students will participate in the creative process by using the appropriate technology or artistic technique and by referencing tutorials for instruction to create a fictitious movie poster. Students will be able to investigate movie poster design and get support through speaking & listening to teacher and peers.
Assignment: I’m going to give you two directions in which you can choose to design this project. You choose which one you will want to create: Assignment#1 or Assignment #2. (So, choose only ONE) Assignment Choice #1: Create a convincing movie poster for a completely fictitious movie that includes all the text elements required for a movie poster. The title of this movie will be (and you MUST use this title, no exceptions): “_________” Assignment Choice #2: Create a convincing movie poster for a movie adapted from *classic literature. Like the first assignment, it will include all the text elements required for a movie poster. Come up with new, hip title. For example, Shakespeare’s titles for his plays lacked the contemporary wit that we have grown accustomed to. Therefore, think of a more creative title for a modern rendition for the movie taken from a famous book or play. Shakespeare’s play “Romeo & Juliet” could instead be called “Loved to Death”, “Hidden Love"”, or “Girl meets boy”. *Having trouble remembering what some of the most famous works of literature are? Then, check out a listing of literary classics on this web-site: http://www.literatureclassics.com/ Due: Oct 11, 2016 PROJECT REQUIREMENTS
Include all of the following text elements into your movie poster
You may also consider including: A hook or tag-line on the poster (perhaps a famous quote or something you make up). Quotes from made-up critic reviews. Once you have chosen which assignment you want to do, then PICK A GENRE: Give considerable thought to the type of genre your movie will be. Will it be an action movie? Or science fiction? A horror movie will have completely different style of images and text than an action movie or one about romance. Remember These rules

CLO: Students will participate in the creative process (planning) by using the appropriate technology, listening, reading or referencing instructions or tutorials about layout design. Students will show what they know by applying their research in planning/sketching their poster design. Map out these two batman movie posters using the graphic design grid. Images also appear in your Google classroom account. Turn this in first before you brainstorm your ideas for your own poster.
CLO: Students will participate in the creative process (researching) by using the appropriate technology, listening, reading or referencing instructions or tutorials about typography. For example, what’s the difference between these two signs: the text or thetypography? Typography is the visual component of the written word. A text is a sequence of words. A text stays the same no matter how it’s rendered. Consider the sentence “I like pizza.” I can print that text on a piece of paper, or read it aloud, or save it in a file on my laptop. It’ll be the same text, just rendered different ways—visually, audibly, digitally. But when “I like pizza” is printed, typography gets involved. All visually displayed text involves typography—whether it’s on paper, a computer screen, or a billboard. Is typography an art? That’s like asking if photography is an art. Certainly there are photographers and typographers whose ideas and techniques raise their work to the level of art. But at their core, both photography and typography perform a utilitarian function. The aesthetic component is separate. Being an effective typographer is more about good skills than good taste.
Rules of TypographyLeading Leading describes the vertical space between each line of type. It's called this because strips of lead were originally used to separate lines of type in the days of metal typesetting. Kerning Kerning describes the act of adjusting the space between characters to create a harmonious pairing. For example, where an uppercase 'A' meets an uppercase 'V', their diagonal strokes are usually kerned so that the top left of the 'V' sits above the bottom right of the 'A'. Tracking this relates to the spacing of all characters and is applied evenly. Hierarchy and scale If all type was the same size, then it would be difficult to know which was the most important information on the page. In order to guide the reader, then, headings are usually large, sub-headings are smaller, and body type is smaller still. Size is not the only way to define hierarchy – it can also be achieved with color, spacing and weight. All typefaces are not created equally. Some are fat and wide; some are thin and narrow. So words set in different typefaces can take up a very different amount of space on the page.
