Type & Image.
April 20, 2009
I strove to attach my emotions about the movie into a visual for the poster. I decided to use one image to create emphasis without overpowering the intensity of the screenplay excerpt. The large, white V stands in front of Evie’s face in order to draw more attention to text than image. I chose to highlight “Become transfixed and transfigured…” as it pertains directly to Evie’s facial expression. I created rhythm in the screenplay by varying the type style (bold, italic, regular). “For Vendetta” ties to the rest of the composition by its use of color, connecting to the highlighted text above. There is a sense of movement as the eye shifts from the directional paths of the text and the weight of the “V”.
