Poster Series for MTV's Show SCREAM
The objective of this project was to design a series of three posters that advertise a movie or television series.
I chose MTV’s television series Scream, which is based off of the iconic movie series. The show is about a group of friends who are being attacked by an unknown killer. These recent killings remind the community of the massacre that occurred 20 years earlier when the suspect, Brandon James, was identified and shot. Although Brandon is gone, the new killer wears the same surgical mask as he did; he suffered from Proteus Syndrome and had to wear a mask to cover his deformed face.

These posters are stylistically related on a single-column grid. The M of the typeface compliments Scream since it looks like a knife slashing down. The subheading typeface is gory, but still legible. My color palate suggests a slasher/horror genre, which is perfect for Scream.
All graphics were designed by me via Adobe Illustrator. |
Poster One
I chose to demonstrate the killer face on, taunting those who look at the poster with his knife. At first, the mask should immediately remind the viewers of the popular Scream movie franchise, which should draw their attention in.

Poster Two
I chose to represent a bloody severed hand because it creates suspense and intrigues the viewer. In the show, the hand is from a teacher who is suspected as the killer. However, the teacher’s hand was cut off by the killer, proving his innocence. The hand is significant because the teacher was sleeping with his students and was a little too “handsy” with them.

Poster Three
I chose to depict the killer with his disguise falling off so the viewer could differentiate between the surgical mask in the Scream TV series and the mask in the Scream movie series. Not only does the pose of the killer create a fear response, but it also creates a sense of curiosity for the viewer.
