I made my poster representing the movie The Seven Year Itch starring Marilyn Monroe. On my poster I took inspiration from Saul Bass. I studied his posters, and downloaded his infamous font. I took the most memorable moment from the movie and recreated it. Once I noticed that wasn't enough, I read more about the movie. I learned that it's about a woman catching the eye of a married man who lives below her in their apartment. I decided to incorporate that by adding the building in the back.
I chose this poster by Saul Bass because I felt it was nearest to my poster above. The buildings at the top of the poster look similar to the style I was going for when I created the apartment building. The font used in this poster is similar to most posters Saul Bass makes, Hitchcock, but it looks like he used a slightly different font this time. Another similarity in the posters is the border. I noticed Saul Bass usually leaves a unique border of white around his posters, so I recreated that. Overall I loved this project. Saul Bass is a cool guy.
Tess, your poster is amazing! I like how well it correlates with the style of Saul Bass that I thought that your poster was his when I first saw it. The color scheme is awesome!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the font you used on your poster and the color scheme you used it rad.
ReplyDeleteWell done! I can see how you have borrowed from the Saul Bass style and even incorporated the building idea from your comparison poster to include in your background to tell the understory.
