Saul Bass Movie Poster

























Movie poster are always cool, and have the purpose of getting the audience in a frenzy to see the movie coming out. When designing a poster in the style of Saul Bass you want to remain as simple as possible, while keeping the ingenious wow factor.  In the above example of "Star Wars Ep. V" Bass has the outline of the well know character of Boba Fett, with title in his chest area with negative space. Then on the side have all the names of the major actors/actresses.  For my poster I went with an even simpler idea, maybe a little less awesome.  I have the three major components of the movie.  The nautilus, the squid and the under the sea part.  All incorporated within three colors.

  1. i completely agree with you colton. your brilliance just shows how much you really care about posters and how to follow a Saul Bass. keeping the poster simple really does help and gets a lot more contrast going and get the audience to think a little bit more. i really like your poster and how you incorporate three major items of your movie.

  3. Amazingly well articulated elements for the assignment! I think the blue gradient works well to imply the mystery last lies deep under the sea.
