Using Illustrator design TWO 11x17 movie (or TV show, play or video game) posters in the style of designer Saul Bass.
You should first analyze Saul Bass's work and determine what are the major design characteristics and stylistic elements in his work. Think about his use of typography and where he places it in his compositions.
We are NOT simply copying a Saul Bass movie poster and putting a different movie title on it.
IF YOU CHOOSE A MOVIE ABOUT A SUPERHERO YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CREATE A POSTER WITH JUST THE EMBLEM, LOGO, OR SYMBOL OF THAT INDIVIDUAL (OR INDIVIDUALS) ON IT!
YOU CAN NOT USE THE "IMAGE TRACE" FUNCTION IN ILLUSTRATOR.
I have included some examples of his work to look at but you can do your own online research. Keep in mind if you do a Google image search it is difficult to legitimize that what you are looking at is actually the work of Saul Bass namely because there are other students in different Graphic Design programs that have done this same project. There is a website I found that has several images of Saul Bass's work. This website shows Saul Bass's original work on the left and then an example on the right of how film studios have chosen to re-brand the work for the contemporary DVD market. You should only be concentrating on the Saul Bass originals that are on the left.
DUE: YOU HAVE TWO IN-CLASS WORK DAYS TO COMPLETE THIS ASSIGNMENT. IT SHOULD BE POSTED TO YOUR BLOG BY THURSDAY APRIL 11TH.
