Question

Movie posters are perhaps the most challenging and innovative area of design right now.

Please post links to 3 movie posters that you believe show excellent examples of visual hierarchy and composition.

For each movie poster example, answer these questions:
1. What is the most important element in the design and how does the designer make you pay attention to that element?
2. Where do you look first when you look at this poster? Why?
3. How is the 'rule of thirds' used in this poster?

Also, discuss the use of color and texture in the poster.

(All you have to do is answer the second question because the first on is probably already answered and I am only allowed one question at a time)

Shahid Kapoor Looks Killer In The First Teaser Poster Of 'Rangoon' + 5 Things You Need To Know About The Film

1. Bharadwaj was successful in getting both Shahid and Saif Ali Khan to work on the same project. Yes, you read that right. The two actors now have a film together!

2. Rangoon is a love triangle set against the backdrop of the freedom struggle and World War II in the 1940s. It is about INA and independence, and revolves around three characters. Leading lady Kangana Ranaut plays Julia, an actress from the '40s.We hear she has been taking extensive lessons in ballet and horse-riding for the role. Saif and Shahid have acquired a military look with crew cuts and thin moustaches. Aren't we reminded of veteran Dev Anand from Hum Dono with Shahid's look in this one?

3. Gone are the days when actors kept their looks under wraps. It's all over their social media pages now. While lead actress Kangana Ranaut went for a short hair makeover to suit the period drama, Shahid has been spotted with a moustache for some time now. We are still waiting to see Saif's look from the film.

4. Bhardwaj is also composing the music for the film. And going by his track record of musical hits in Haider, Ishqiya and Omkara, we are expecting another melodious album. Adding to it will be Gulzar who is penning down the lyrics.

5. The most exciting part will be a cameo by our favourite Irrfan Khan. Esha Gupta will also be doing an item number.
