Texas Forever

So we have officially made it to design week.  For this week we have to get fifteen stars (and I’m kind of freaking out a little bit).  I decided to get an early start of this week since I have awful at getting started anytime before last minute lately.

For my first assignment of the week I decided to do Minimalist TV/Movie Poster which was worth three stars! For this assignment you had do “create a tv/movie poster that captures the essence of the story through the use of minimalist design/iconography.”

I wasn’t quite sure which movie or TV show I was going to pick at first.  As most of you know, I love everything Disney but I decided to pick something else for this assignment.  I am much more of a TV person than I am a movie person, so I decided to choose Friday Night Lights.  I have talked about Friday Night Lights on here before in my post about the shape of a story but in case you missed it I am going to share my all time favorite Friday Night Lights video on here again.

After I decided what show I was going to use the rest of this came pretty easily.  I decided that the picture I would use for my poster had to be a picture of the state of Texas.  One of the greatest thing about this show is how they make the setting a character.  Dillon, Texas is almost important than any of the characters.  I also knew that I had to use blue and yellow as my color scheme because those are the colors of the Dillon Panthers.  I used gimp to make my poster and was pretty pleased with how it turned out.  Hope you enjoy it.
