Tom and I went to the Edmonton Pride Parade on Saturday. We hadn’t planned to, but we were in the neighbourhood and we kept seeing such interesting looking people and fabulous costumes we decided to check it out. We’re glad we did, it was a great parade. Premier Dave Hancock’s was one of the first […]

So, we have been playing #emojimovie over on Twitter.
That led to a Daily Create asking us to make an emoji poster movie. I have been pondering on what to do and how to do it. I decided to play with minimalist posters and find a way to depict my favourite movie in Emoji.
I do not like emoji much and much prefer Japanese emoticons. They work horizontally rather than vertically and I like the creativity within constraints they demonstrate. So I cheated. I used 2 the one for ‘crying’ and the one for ‘catching an umbrella in the rain’ on several lines underneath. I positioned the crying one at the top so that his tears disappear in the rain…
I wanted a background that was ‘like rain’ and that was harder than I thought in Photoshop. I needed a tutorial.
I then played with Photoshop and made various versions - my favourites in this post. I cannot yet decide which one will be submitted to the Daily Create. I think the rain effect needed to be a night time rain effect to give it a darker look. Not today.
And good luck guessing the movie!
Can you guess?
