My Digital MOVIE POSTER

I will talk about designing a digital poster. In this activity, we were asked to design either a magazine cover or movie poster and i chose the latter. I had to think of an author as a director and make a movie poster one of their books. We chose the actors ourselves and wrote quotes from the book on the poster. I chose my favorite book Crime And Punishment from my favorite author Fyodor Dostoevsky. I chose two actors that i think are compatible with each other.

As a teacher candidate and someone who loves design and aesthetic appearence, i would love for my future students to learn this kind of design works. I think that designing what they want will make them love the courses and this technological knowledge will come in handy in many areas of their life in future.
