letsgomets1212 Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I am going to be making my own movie. Here is a teaser poster that I made. I am not entirely satisfied with it, maybe you could give me some ideas for it. If you have a better idea for the font, please give me the name of the font. Btw, a teaser poster is meant to show very little stuff from the film, so please don't suggest I put pictures of the characters, thats for a Theatrical Poster.The original image is much larger and higher-quality, and this one is compressed which is why the letters and there outlines are not perfect, but you get the idea. Thanks for any C&C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProvidenceRI Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 The brain/lightning part is very cool.All you need to do i smake better font/typographic choices.And, I would keep the poster black and white. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 I don't like Copperplate at all, but that's me. I like the font you have, but maybe blue/green/yellow outline instead of red? By the way, the brain looks terrific. Absolutely great. Nice job. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnTwo Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 Maybe if you put that tiny font down at the bottom, you know what I mean? It says the directors, producers, actors, etc.Ex. ^^The writing underneath "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" "I must be butter, because I'm on a roll."Turn Two Design // Facebook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiasco! Posted February 23, 2006 Share Posted February 23, 2006 pretty good teaser. i would move the type below the brain and make it smaller. bigger doesn't mean better. i feel like a more casual serif font would work better in this instance, something like Clearface Gothic Bold, as seen here: http://sampler.linotype.com/sam?ID=12787&t...667&fontsize=50maybe just 'soon' instead of 'coming soon" and lose the red outline, looks amateurish. make the text the same color as the lightning and you've got a winner.

letsgomets1212 Posted February 23, 2006 Author Share Posted February 23, 2006 The small writing is more of a Theatrical Poster type of thing,For example:Teaser Poster:Theatrical Poster: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took what you said and this is what I did:1. I left the type where it is. I just didn't look right anywhere else.2. I don't have the font you are talking about, but I found a cool one that I think looks good.3. "Soon" instead of "Coming Soon" just didn't work for me.4. I got rid of the red outline.5. I made the text lighter and I added a small dark outline to it.With that being said, here is the latest version, LMK what you think: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiasco! Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 pretty good, but i really think the title needs to be smaller to make the image more striking. that font is all wrong for the piece, IMO.i changed my mind about what font to use....i think industria is perfect for this piece, here's a transparent gif for you to use if you don't have the font:and here's my idea on the placement of the type on the poster: LinkedIn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paynomind Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 Do yourself and the rest of us a favor, and try it Joel's way, and show us side-by side.What joel says about font and placement is 99.9% of the time dead on.

letsgomets1212 Posted February 24, 2006 Author Share Posted February 24, 2006 I didn't have that font, so I was unable to add the words "Coming Soon." Here's a side-by-side. And thanks for all your help Joel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiasco! Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 no prob, man.....i came up with 4 treatments for how you can announce the date, whether it be "soon", "coming soon", or just the date. LinkedIn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winters in buffalo Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 That came together well. Cool graphic, too. Better off not hiding it behind the text. Joel's suggestion on the font really brings the whole thing together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letsgomets1212 Posted February 28, 2006 Author Share Posted February 28, 2006 After the font changes, I present the final cut of my movie poster. Once again, thanks Joel.
