Poster Conventions

Below is a list of all of the possible conventions that can be found on posters - many of these I found when annotating existing posters and will use when creating my own poster:

Billing or Credits






Production company logos








Sound logos






Website






Social networking links







Names of recognisable stars





Images of stars



















The film's title - usually the biggest and most bold font on the poster





Release date





Star rating








Quotations from reviews







Tagline







Name of the director







Reference to other films





Reference to source material





Certificate








Awards

    Good work.
    Why don't you have a look at magazine covers to get an idea of the range of publications out there and do some basic analysis of the conventions of magazine covers.
