Minimal Poster August 2013

[Acorn]

Harvey - Elwood P. Dowd makes friends with a spirit taking the form of a human-sized rabbit named Harvey that only he sees...

...the idea is: MAXIMUM thinking - MINIMUM drawing.

So, if you were designing a Film Poster to promote Harvey, what would be your minimalist idea?

P.S. I saw Harvey 50 years ago and I can confirm he was an invisible white.

I could always see him.

gary, I liked the ovals so I copied them...

Harvey was a Pooka http://focusfeaturesmedia.com/upload...185b1/x950.jpg And I could be wrong but Pooka's are not fond of carrots. You're thinking of the rabbit stereotype created by Buggs Bunny.

[Acorn]

After 50 years, I am allowed a little stereotyping. Perhaps here my pooka is making the carrot inedible as per reported agricultural lore. Be grateful I didn't suggest Frank in Donnie Darko!

Chaps and Chapessess,

Here's my first go at any sort of competition or friendly little 'task' so be gentle...

I remember seeing 'Harvey' when I was young and loving it - I've seen it many times before since and still love it.

I don't know if anyone reads Empire but from time to time they would ask a graphic artist [apologies I can't remember his name] to redesign films posters, most of them were great and this little idea appealed to me in the same way.

Here is my go I tried to keep it very simple [this took about ten minutes to make using shape building] but still encapsulate the theme of the film as simply as possible.

Anyhoo as I said be gentle!

Cheers
David

Nice work, David. And no carrots.

So what's in the bottle? I bet it's carrot juice.
