If something fascinates Ivan Castro - a graphic designer specialized in calligraphy, lettering and typography - it is the expressive capacity of hand-made letters, a phenomenon that is especially striking in the case of film posters, since they are capable of counting great story in a single image.
In the same way that he teaches how to make calligraphy with a brush in Calligraphy and Rock'n'Roll , in this course he gets involved in the lettering to teach you how to build letters, to pay attention to their forms, to make compositions with them and to design a cinema poster in which the main characters are the words.
Description
Ivan Castro will guide you when it comes to embarking on a lettering project. It will explain technical questions about the construction of the letter, composition, spacing and rhythm and analyze the expressive and communicative capacities of its forms.
It will help you explore a new world in the treatment of your lettering projects, encouraging you to experiment with finishes and simple techniques available to anyone.
Ivan will show you examples of relevant movie posters for their use of typography and you will study the composition of graphic elements. In addition, you will know first-hand the opinion of the Spanish film director Álex de la Iglesia on the importance of the cinematographic poster.
To finish, you will get into the creation of the poster of a movie of your choice. You will define the font styles, the placement of the elements, you will draw the definitive label and you will make the final composition with the help of an image editing program.
