Saul Bass Movie Poster

by: Anna Massey

              Our graphic design class created a movie poster inspired by Saul Bass's movie poster's. My movie posters were based off of Disney movies from 1970's and back. The movies I choose were Snow White and the seven dwarfs and Lady and the Tramp. These were some of my favorite movies when I was a child. and I still enjoy them today. My designs include just a simple vectored art created to look elegant. In our requirements were limited colors, one of my posters had few to none colors, while the other included more variety while still being in the limits. Snow White and the seven dwarfs includes Red, Black, and white. While on the other hand Lady and the Tramp includes Blue, hues of Orange, hues of Gray, Black, and White. The concept of Snow White and the seven dwarfs was an apple symbolizing a major aspect of the movie. The apple is black and dripping to show that is is being dipped in poison.  Lady and the Tramp's poster has more of a childlike appeal. The poster includes the snout of both the dogs which is connected by pasta from the spaghetti they ate when they were on their date. I enjoyed this project because I got to work in Illustrator making vectors.
