Question by bioGeek: Help! I am supposed to turn a book in2 a movie/ tv series and make a poster advertising it. Any ideas?
Any creative ideas? The book has to be one of these:
The blue roan child (book about orphaned girl who befriends a horse who is magical and go on thrilling/dangerous adventure)
Eragon (Boy with his dragon, there is already a movie)
The children of the lamp-The Blue Djinn OF Babylon (its pretty famous i think 2 children find out they r djinns and they need to caprute evil djinn)
Charlie bone and teh invisible boy ( charlie and his frnds are endowed w/powers and try to save the day..my hands are tired 😛 )
Ella Enchanted ( famous too! ella is cursd with the “gift” of obedience. movie is already made. who cares i just need a poster 😛 )

That is a really hard task you have been set because for all of them there are already images out there. That doesn’t help you focus on your own ideas does it? Is it hard seeing past the images that you know?
I’d choose the most obscure book and design one big simple image for the cover/poster like the covers of the phillip Pullman His Dark Materials books. A symbol can be more powerful than a complicated illustation. Leave as little white in the final piece as possible.
Make sure you use bold and simple lettering for the title. Keep it all big and fill the page for the most powerful impact. To promote something you need to grab people’s attention.
I’d rather do a project like this where I could make up my own title.
