Here is my second design assignment for the week! This one is a 3-star Minimalist TV/Movie Poster. All you need to do is pick a movie/TV show and then create a poster that “captures the essence of the story.”

For this assignment I choose the TV show “Chicago Fire” it’s one of my favorites currently and if you are not watching it now, I highly suggest you check it out! The show is basically about firefighters and EMTs lives in a Chicago Firehouse. There is drama, romance, and action- I feel it’s a show that can apply to many.

In trying to be minimalistic, I decided I’d go with an outline of the state of Illinois. The blue background represents a color in Chicago’s Flag. The little fire marks “Chicago” on the map and I just added the title.

I used GIMP, paint and Picmonkey for this project and it was very annoying and frustrating. I just couldn’t really get things how I wanted them, thought I’m pretty happy now. I choose this font in picmonkey because I thought it had a “fire-y/burnt” look to it.

What do you all think?
