Final Project

 For my final project I wanted to make a set of minimalist movie posters for some of the movies that I grew up on.  I choose these four because we went over a few of them in class and they are all in the same era.  I kept the design similar through all of them (focusing on a single object with a scenic view super-imposed into it) so that they would all read as a set and not just individual posters.  Each item that the poster features is central to the movie:  Jack's ax for The Shining, the flamethrower for The Thing, a zombie/dead hand for Dawn of the Dead, and the Tall Man's orb for Phantasm.  Also, the scenery in the object is supposed to relate to each movie:  Colorado mountains for The Shining, the Antarctic camp and helicopter for The Thing, a sunrise for Dawn of the Dead, and a graveyard for Phantasm.
