Flat planning our poster: Step Five

We decided it made sense to do the poster first, before the magazine cover. So we worked on that quite a bit.

Using the research we had come up with a list of things we had to have on the poster. Our list went like this:

Main Image (we will use a shot from the trailer footage)

Movie Title: Attack of the Nerds

Stars (that would be us)

Credits: producers, director, all that stuff

Rating symbol: 15

Logos and certificates: Filmworks, Dolby, etc.

The Launch date: when the  movie was coming out

Strapline: 4 eyes are better than 2

The production company: Burghley Entertainment

We wanted to keep the poster very clean and clear of clutter so we tried to include everything you should have but no more.

Here is what we cam up with.

Of course, we want to go and show it to people and get some feedback - so it probably isn't finished yet. We need to get some more of the elements on too, but overall a pretty good start.
