The One Sheet Teaser Poster
Due: Wednesday September 3rd
Fall Premiere’s on Television/Netflix/Hulu is a huge event.
You will be choosing one or two
of the forthcoming series of film series listed below and you will create a
promotional poster for that series that will either 1)introduce or 2) remind
the audience that the film/series that is forthcoming in this next season.
What is a Teaser Poster.
Historically, the Teaser Poster is considered the first blush of many new films as well as teasing the upcoming season for the network. This type of advertising design can introduce the film/series to the novice or re-introduce the film/series to an avid fan who is familiar with the program. It will be your choice to do either (or both) as you work towards the genre of the film/series and how you portray it to the audience.
SPECS: Printed versions will be 12”x18” mounted.
You can use any paper stock you wish as long as it is in keeping with your concept for the overall look and feel of the film/series. You will also post these versions on your individual blogs as well.

You
should have the network logo. You should indicate somehow either in
type and/or image that it is the return or season premiere (with
date/time) and you can also have your own tag line or use their own. All
imagery must be yours.
CONCEPT: Your concepts must visually communicate an idea about the film/series you are selecting; it can center around the entirety of the show/series or it can be about some episodic event from the show/series or even around the characters if you wish. The name of the film/series must be on the poster design. You can remake the logo or embellish on the existing logo or simply use their original logo. It is your choice. You can also use the names of those in the film/series or the director’s name or some quote from the film/series...but you visual message must be strong and the design of your poster design must be in context with the era/time period/aesthetics of the film.
It can be all type or image and type.

I encourage you greatly to use 2D
shapes/flat shapes and surfaces but you can build a three-dimensional image
using those shapes. No airbrushing unless you are using it in a supportive way
with type or as drop shadows or as quiet background imagery.
No filters.

These poster designs must be rich
in imagery and in typography and should familiarize the viewer with the concept
of the film/series. Drama/Comedy/Action/Musical should someone be emphasized so
the viewer knows what the film/series celebrates.
Additional text may be used if your concept calls for such. You must also include the film/network official logo somewhere on your poster design.
You should also use time/place/date/new series/marathon/special night/ any words that might advertise and solidify your concepts.
