Minimalist Roman Holiday

I made this poster for the iconic 1953 movie, Roman Holiday. I love the simplicity of this movie. I chose a vespa to represent the movie on this poster because it stands for freedom and life throughout this film. Audrey Hepburn’s character, Princess Anne, escapes the confined life of a princess during a visit in Rome where she meets an American journalist, Joe (Gregory Peck). Joe, not knowing that Anne is a princess, offers to show her around the city.

I made this poster entirely in GIMP. It surprisingly took me a long time to make because I was learning how to use GIMP at the same time. I took the picture of the Vespa from an old Print Ad in a European newspaper. I think it turned out well!
