EVALUATION MINIMALIST POSTERS

At times I find it extremely difficult to put my ideas onto paper. I have many creative ideas and the majority of the time I can’t express them and put them onto paper, simply because my art is of a abysmal quality.

Initially i wanted to base my minimalist poster on the film ‘shottas’. Shottas is a Caribbean film set in Jamaica, based on drugs and money. I managed to design a few poster ideas. Unfortunately I had to go for the more basic ideas as I couldn’t draw my creative ones. I went on to design minimalist posters for the films ice age, ratatouille and the lion king.

At the stage of finalising my designs I wasn’t quite sure which film I was going to base my minimalist poster on. Lion king is one of my favourite films, so after a few hours of thinking I decided to go for the lion king poster.

I chose the lion king minimalist poster because it was one of the more basic ideas I had came up with. Finding a target audience was a struggle as I could only use up to three colours, but since I’ve decided to create a lion king minimalist poster then my target audience is children as the film is. I only used one colour which was black, and the black was for the colour of my image, and title. 

The key feature on my poster is the image, it’s a paw print idea I came up with and it relates to the lions.

I believe I can improve this idea massively especially on a computer, my art work lets my poster design down. The background of my minimalist poster was meant to be red, but I wasn't able to get my hands on red paper. 

As of yet I don’t know what idea I would do if I were to design this again, but I know I would base my poster around one film and one film only. If I could change my poster I would, if I could make it look even more professional then I would certainly do that. My minimalist poster idea is really basic.

What i want to do is complete my poster, i feel it is unfinished. I want to make a design on the computer, that's the only way i feel it would completed. 

I wasn’t keen on minimalist posters to be honest, I’m never keen on drawing but I learnt something while doing this task and my research. I never knew what minimalists posters were before, so no regrets!
