Alternative film poster research,

Considering different ways of approaching film posters, layouts, image and text hierarchy, colour etc...


- image manipulation

- interactive feel to the image

- structure of image
-angles, layout
- interesting colour



- image style
- layout of type and image
- obviously separated

- blank space
- image creeping into the page
- text working WITH image

- structural approach
- clean/crisp
- lines

- image off center
- simple, blocked image

- painted image
