Typography and Composition - MOVIE POSTER

Choose a film for which you will create an 8.5 x 11 flyer using only type.
All visual design elements must be relevant to the conveyance of information about the film.
Pull text from Wikipedia or the Internet Move Database or, well, just about any relevant information, anywhere you can find it to fill the space in an expressive way, conveying a sense of the film's genre or mood.
Use only black, white, and two grays to generate an evocative design.
Choose ONLY from the Five Classic Typefaces for this design.
Consider the entire page when creating a composition.
Consider ALL of the exercises we have done up to this point when choosing strategies to apply. 
Look to the Designing With Type website for relevant examples (Projects, 8, Early Letterforms) 

We will discuss the finished projects in class on Monday, 2/2/9
