Film Poster Research
       By Chris A
O Olly Moss creates fan-made film posters in
  a simplistic, signature fashion.
O His work generally features the silhouette of
  an important character and uses a single
  bold colour to accompany the black and
  cream background.
O I am interested in using this style when
  creating the short film poster.
Here are his posters for Star Wars episodes IV, V
and VI
…and episodes I, II and III
O As you can see from the Star Wars
  examples, the posters all have a recurring
  theme and their own individual ‘feature’
  colour.
O Within these silhouettes, an important
  scene is pictured, one example is in ‘The
  Empire Strikes Back’ where Cloud City, the
  location of the films climax is pictured. This
  is also used as Boba Fett’s visor (the
  silhouette).
The following greatly emphasize the colours black ,
orange and cream.
Examples of ‘Thor’ and ‘The Evil Dead’
