Movie Poster Made Completely of Type

Using Illustrator capture the essence or emotive qualities of a film through a poster design made completely out of type.  You will choose the movie but do NOT use any animated films.

DO NOT REUSE THE ORIGINAL DESIGN OF THE MOVIE POSTER!  THIS IS A COMPLETE REDESIGN!  I WOULD AVOID EVEN LOOKING AT THE ORIGINAL POSTER OR AD CAMPAIGN.  DO NOT USE THE SAME TYPEFACE AS THE ORIGINAL DESIGN.

Project Parameters:
-Poster must be 11x17 (Tabloid)
-You can only use black, white, and shades of grey.
-You can scale (holding the shift key), rotate, move, reflect/mirror, create outlines, and utilize the pathfinder window.
-You can not adjust the underlying paths of your type.
-You CAN utilize the transparency panel.

DUE:  You have 2 in-class periods to work on this assignment.  It must be posted to your blog by the beginning of the class TUESDAY FEB. 19th.   We will have a group critique on that day. You should always be saving both your Illustrator file (.ai) and your .png file.  Every assignment we have completed up to this point in the semester should be posted to your blog.
