Imaginative as Well as a Collector of Things? Build Your Own Personal Classic Movie Poster

By Jason Helminth


While unpacking in my brand new house, I noticed the fact that I don't like to discard a single thing. Things such as outdated newspapers, periodicals and postcards. I made a decision that as opposed to adorning my walls using these designs, I was going to construct my own personal classic movie poster. It's actually a wonderful way to really clean out all the mess in your home. It also allows you to express your creativity.

Anything At All Goes When Producing a Classic Movie Poster

There are many various ways you can create a classic movie poster. During the Halsted Marketplace Days in Chicago, one particular city artist was framing LP album covers utilizing soundtracks from motion pictures such as Breakfast at Tiffany's as well as An American in Paris. It's a sensible way to create a classic movie poster, simply because it is extremely affordable and straightforward to carry out. All you have to do is go to a neighborhood second-hand record outlet where it is possible to get records for under $5. You'll also be able to purchase a relatively inexpensive but nice-looking frame at the drugstore for under $30.

One other way of creating a classic movie poster which calls for real work is by building a collage. A good collage is actually a terrific way to do away with lots of old magazines as well as newspapers. Yet again, this can be an incredibly economical project simply because almost all of the materials you currently have in your home. You will only need to get a poster board along with a frame. Along with publications and newspaper clippings, you can also utilize covers from VHS videos, DVDs or perhaps even CDs.

Make Use of All Your Creativeness, but Don't Forget Everyone Has to Look at This

Actually the only significant danger for creating a classic movie poster by yourself is that it may possibly wind up resembling a kindergartner's art design from school. While attractiveness is generally incredibly subjective, in the end, you should construct whatever you like. With practice, you'll be able to discover techniques for rendering your individual poster both professional and attractive.

Developing a theme is an outstanding starting place. The specific theme may be a color scheme - employing just black & white pictures can give the poster a basic Hollywood glamour feel. It's also possible to focus on a single star which will give you a standard theme as your intended purpose. My most effective poster that I created used motion picture superstars belonging to the 1940s and 1950s.

One more great option is to use shots of renowned pairs - Bogie and Bacall, Spencer and Hepburn, Fred and Ginger. It's also possible to make a classic movie poster showing popular screen clowns. For instance, Charlie Chaplin, Abbot and Costello, or Laurel and Hardy.

The most crucial issue to keep in mind when creating this kind of poster is the fact that it displays a person's taste along with what you think to be old classic film. Never get apprehensive if your poster displays Shaft even more than it does Casablanca. If you add your own imagination into it, just about any film poster will look just like a classic.
