Minimal Movie Poster Workday

Today is a workday on your Minimal Movie Poster. Your Vector Portrait will be due next Tuesday. 

For this project, you will design three Minimal Posters (Movie, TV show, and/or Book) by creating a simplistic image that could serve as an icon for your chosen subject.
Brainstorm main characters, colors, key scenes, your favorite scenes, objects, or outfits from that movie. Perhaps they would be things you would have to see the movie to understand. File > Place images you find that can help make your design strong.
As you work, take a look at the examples for inspiration. Usually the background is a solid color. If a poster already exists and you still want to do that movie, select different images to use – do not copy! 
Think about having an interesting viewpoint and not showing the “whole” picture.

Wednesday
