Hitchcock Movie Poster

Today is the deadline for the Hitchcock movie poster project and I finally finished my poster for Vertigo using inDesign.


I wanted to try and mix the styles of classic movie posters but still add a modern touch to it, I feel this is done by the simple minimalistic style but I also wanted to use quite old looking classical fonts for the text to get an older style. 

I also had to incorporate the Tyneside Cinema logo and I had a few problems trying to place it alongside the credit text but I decided to just leave it centered underneath because whenever I put it to the side it looked quite off and unbalanced.

After printing I realised that the credits texts must have been a very light weight because although it translates quite well and is readable onscreen, when I printed the piece off it went all pixelated and faded a bit, meaning you could only read it if you were close up or squinting! So if I were to revisit this project I would do a test print to make sure it came out alright and would modify it to fix it.
