MOVIE POSTER

                                   Toadally vintage. 


For this poster, I had someone take a picture of myself in an open field near my household.  After uploading the picture, I had to find the right space invaders to incorporate into the poster.  After placing and editing all the space invaders, i had to find a color that fit with my black and white background.  I choose a charcoal  gray color.  For my text, I used Helvetica font.  The poster itself is very simple, but that is something I enjoy about it.

Quote Project

   My teacher for my Art Technology class would constantly say "Technology simplifies our lives" to us as a class.  After hearing it for a while it was sort of burned into my brain but I actually started to think about it and the reality of it.  Technology has done great things for us and allows us to do wonders.

Good/Bad Movie Posters

GOOD

Overall, I think this poster works very well.  The maze looks sort of confusing at first, but it really ties together the whole concept of the movie without being too overwhelming.  The actors are all listed in the upper right hand corner, and the text is very clear and easy to read.  I am a fan of this poster.





BAD

I'm not really sure how I came about this poster, but I found it horrible(not just the fact that it's for a horror movie).  It takes the viewer quite sometime to really figure out what this picture is, and the text is very hard to read, I think.  It really tells nothing for the viewer about the movie, so they really have no idea what they are looking at.

A Bio Or Something.

     My name is Matthew Liddle.  I am nineteen years and am interested in Graphic Design.  I recently graduated this summer from Coon Rapids High School and will be going to Anoka Ramsey to take my general courses along with some electives that I am interested in.  I work at Best Buy as a computer sales associate, so I am a huge computer geek.  I love discovering new interesting and rad types of music, although I don't really play an instrument.  Longboarding, wakeskating, computers, and art are all things that I enjoy.  I used to travel to play paintball nationally for a Division 2 team called Air Assault Factory, although I do not anymore.  I find technology fascinating, and the things that we can do with it.  As a career, I hope to someday be in some category of graphic design or web design, or something else that I could use PhotoShop and Illustrator with.
