Homework 5

There are a ton of great movie posters out there but one that comes to mind is World War Z. Right away the poster engages the viewer. Striking contrast between the black and white space. There's a beauty in its simplicity. Whether one has watched the film or not, we can agree that upon a glance the poster depicts an action scene. A helicopter hangs in the air. People are falling. There is a giant pile up of people. One can imagine that there is some kind of apopcalyptic theme. That's essentially what the movie is about. The poster did its job to communicate that message to the viewer- all through one image. To me, that's a successful design. Now whether the movie was awesome or not is another topic.
