Create a Movie Poster


 
If my book was a movie this is what I think the Movie Poster might look like. I chose the rocks for the background, because when I think of Zen I think of these time of rocks. I added shaped behind some of the text to make it stand out more, the texts also shows some contrast that flows throughout the image of royal blue and white. I also used some different typefaces within the poster; Bodoni MT Condensed, Bodoni MT, Goudy Stout, &  Forte. I used concordance with similar fonts different emphasis underlining and enlargement. My Conflicts I used were using Bodoni MT, Bondoni Condensed, and Onyx. I used transparency in shapes as a way to try to make some of the texts stand out, and I also shadowed & embossed some text.

This particular sign from Grace Park shows contrast. "GRACE" is in one size font, and typeface, while "park" is in another size and font face, it is also a different color. The text is center aligned, with no space between each word. This sign is a great example of contrast, as well.




This sign is a great example of concordance. It has the same typeface, but "HOLSTEIN" is bold and much larger than the rest of the text on the sign. Each group of text is is different font sizes, and creates a triangular look but is all center aligned, with "~EST.1887~ being the smallest font size. Same font different sizes and emphasis.
