The poster was an exercise to design an Italian Neo-Realistic Cinema by having multiple limitations.
In this exercise, we are assigned to deal with the giving text and can only use two colors. Not only about the limitations in the poster, but also have to connect the spirit of Italian Neo-Realist movie.
// Color Choice
Italian Neo-realistic movies are about how the poor and working class’s lives in difficult economic conditions in Italy in the period of Post–World War II. After watching Italian Neo-realistic movie, I decide only to use black and white because the content of movies is serious and sad.
// Text and Pictures
I want to make the poster as a film roll keeps telling stories about movies as if these type of movies keep telling stories about people’s lives in those periods. I arrange text and picture in the vertical orientation as a film roll. I put one image and one big title in the front to indicate that it’s playing.
