Movie Poster and Book Cover Design and Testing Workshop

In this recorded workshop you master the skills you need to create, design, test, buy, and use movie posters and books covers to sell your creative work effectively. 

Every movie and book is sold using a poster or cover because art triggers people to stop and look. In that 16th of a second after you have captured their attention, people try to assess if what they are looking at is something they need or want. It's only when the art stops them that they take the time required to dive deeper. 

A great cover or poster creates an "itch" in the right people that only deeper investigation, and then a purchase, can satisfy. 

For producers who are seeking to get a project funded, a poster is the proof that you can communicate visually. Films live and die based upon the quality of images. If you can't come up with a poster that makes an investor, distributer, or fans want more, it's easy for people to wonder how you are going to come up with a whole film that sells well. 

For authors, a book cover demonstrates you know what your audience wants. Your image choice, your font choice, your color choices, and your framing tell people more about what's inside your book than the blurb on the back. 

This workshop will address:

• How posters and book covers arrest the eye and how they make promises to people.
• Why the right poster or book cover presented to the right people, makes their purchase virtually assured (unless your text or availability screw things up).
• Specific design elements that have a big impact on how well your work grabs the eye. 
• How to use images to sell emotions and ideas.
• Understanding what your poster or book cover must look like by discovering your audience and analyzing your competitors.
• Why you should build and test a poster or cover before a project is finished (or even begun).
• How to test posters and covers quickly and cost effectively, an how to choose the very best one. 
• Software and tools you can use to create your own posters and book covers quickly. 
• Services you can use to create art for your projects on demand. 
• Why it's important to ensure you own the artwork you use to promote your books and films.
