Poster Child - MGx Thesis Project

We have lost the sense of artistry, humanity and culture that movie posters used to embody. As a touchpoint for connection to audiences, bad posters are an insult to good films. A community built around the celebration of this art will help people to understand their importance. “Poster Child” is an organization that is dedicated to the art of the movie poster. Join the community at posterchilddesign.com
10 education assets were put together to launch Poster Child. These are made up of interviews, articles, and poster designs–and all explore a different aspect of graphic design and movie poster design.

The homepage of PosterChildDesign.com houses educational resources, interviews, and articles.
Poster Child is a community-focused studio, so community members can submit work to the website to be featured. Posters denoted with the Poster Child “P" in the thumbnail view have been selected by the studio for their outstanding design. Selected posters include a short critique and commentary about why the work is being specifically highlighted for its excellence.

The process book documented the year's work and included all of the content that I had created for the Poster Child website (poster redesigns, articles, and educational resources)
