For this assignment, the instructions were to improve movie posters to make them more accurately reflect the content of the film. So to begin my thought process, I thought to myself, “What is one of the most popular films of all time?” Instantaneously, the …

To Ruin TRON
Going on with the Jeff Bridges theme for the week, I decided to revisit TRON Legacy. That was a mistake. I thought maybe I’d been too hasty to judge the film my first showing, but no. It was bad.
TRON. It brings back memories of Jeff Bridges in his early …
Honest Wire Poster
This is my If Movie Posters Told the Truth assignment (worth 3 stars). I decided to do it on The Wire, but not on a specific episode, more on a general theme of the series. I wanted to put something about the actual point of the show, but McNulty was …
The Truth about Tangled
For my last design assignment I decide to do If Movie Posters Told the Truth which was worth three stars. I decided to to Tangled as my movie poster. I started out with this movie poster for Tangled.
I decided the truthful bit of information that should be included into …
The Perfect Truth
For my next design assignment, I clicked on the “random” button. I tried reading through all of the assignments and picking which one I wanted to do, but I couldn’t pick!!
The assignment I was given was If Movie Posters Told the Truth (***) Boy, do I wish this was …
Final Design
When I read over the description for “If Movie Posters Told the Truth,” I knew I wanted to do a scary movie because they are all so predictable. One of my favorite suspenseful movies is Final Destination 2. This may be due to the fact that a friend of mine…
Truth about Movies
The Young One
I took the poster for the movie The Lucky One and retitled the movie The Young One. I also added a description to it saying I stalked you down, but lets be real I’m too young for you. I saved an image of The Lucky one onto…
The Truth About Bridesmaids
Alright, so maybe you won’t shit your pants, but you might pee a little–I did. (Plus, the poop reference is just too relevant to pass up.) The first time I saw Bridesmaids, I didn’t know what was happening to me. Seriously. I lost it. One of the funniest movies I…
The Truth is Out
Movie posters never tell the truth. They are meant to compel you to come see the movie. When I cam across the assignment to reveal the truth, I knew I had to do it. I’m not sure why, but when I saw this assignment the first movie that came to…
Moulin Rouge and Forcing You to Cry.
Mine:
The Original:
For the record, I love Moulin Rouge. Seriously. The flashy dances, the taboo life of a prostitute, and the music mash ups. Except the sad ending. I won’t ruin it for you, but you’ll cry if you have a heart. Anywho, I correctly changed the tag…

ds106 Design Assignments
My goal with participating in ds106 (in whatever way that played out) was to learn something. I’ve only scratched the surface but I’ve learned quite a bit about GIMP and Photoshop today. In addition, without putting in much effort (as I probably should have done) I am looking at design…
The Social Downes
I started remaking this poster as bava art, but then I realized that nobody fits this poster better than the great Stephen Downes. Nobody more prolific, nobody more willing to speak his mind, and nobody less afraid to piss other people off! NOBODY!
All that said, nobody could be further…
If Movie Posters Told The Truth
I chose the Harry Potter Part 2 poster for the assignment If Movie Posters Told The Truth.
First, I opened the movie Poster with Photoshop. I then selected the text tool and typed in my “phrase”. The font I used was Charlemagne St and I made the font size to…
You can’t handle the truth
My first design is telling the truth about a movie on the movie poster. Burlesque is one of my favorite movies because I love Cher! The original movie poster had the two artists names listed, along with other cast members who were included in the movie. I decided to…
If Movie Poster Told The Truth
Three Star Assignment
Process
I spent about 15 minutes looking for a suitable pictures. Mulan has a ton of posters and I wanted to find the right one. After downloading the picture I then basically went through a ton of texts to find the appropriate one. I did try to…
Spoiler Alert!
Was anyone else excited to see “One Day”? I love Anne Hathaway, as in, I am in love with Anne Hathaway. Ok, not really but I do think she’s pretty swell. Also, Jim Sturgess isn’t too hard to look at. Add in the fact that this looked like an almost…

You can’t handle the truth!
As soon as I read the assignment description I knew I wanted to do Firefly. Yes, I know, technically this poster is from Serenity. But I like to think of it was the last episode of Firefly, because it deserved more than 13 episodes. I’ve always told people that were…
If Movie Posters Told The Truth
Rachel McAdams has now been in romantic movies with Ryan Gosling and Channing Tatum. In both movies she has contemplated leaving an extremely hott guy. I don’t know why these are such difficult decisions for her so I created this movie poster to help her out with her decision making.…
The one percent
Sorry to get all pessimistic and political, but I think it’s a problem with our society. Kind of a truth about the movie as well, sort of.
The first challenge was getting rid of the real subheading. I used the rectangle selection tool and copied and pasted bits of background…
I sure do love me some movies
I’ve done a couple of design assignments this weekend. There will be a few more to come, but I was pretty excited about these and wanted to post them now.
This assignment looked like a lot of fun. It also seemed somehow familiar. Long ago, my friends and I renamed…
