Saul Bass is a legend of graphic design. His minimalistic concepts and clever use of negative space to tell the understory of a movie were hugely influential. I made several movie posters that were inspired by his legendary style.

Both of the films above have dark, ominous tones. I attempted to bring these feelings to the forefront of my posters by intentional usage of color. Apocalypse Now is about the human cost of war and the psychological effects it can have on its survivors. I chose to highlight this by using red as the primary color. The other objects- the palm trees, sun, and helicopter- are meant to primarily indicate setting and are mostly incidental. Children of the Corn is more of a guilty pleasure, but I still felt like it's themes of violence and... corn could be easily expressed through color and texture.
