Master of Suspense Poster Series



The concept for the Master of Suspense Poster Series originally was to print on objects that were relevant to the films. It was also possible that I would print posters that could be used in particular places. I later went on to think that this was too gimmicky for me to work with, it would be way to obvious to do something that completely reminded people of the films. I want to make the posters subtle.

I have the idea to use dialogue within the posters. I want to use dialogue that isn't obvious the particular film, but dialogue that evokes suspense. This can be done with typography very effectively with minimal use of image. Older Hitchcock posters are always so obvious. With strong bold images that subconsciously remind us of the Hitchcock work that Saul Bass produced. I am willing to take the complete opposite direction.
