Poster love

These are assignments from the Poster Design class offered in the illustration department. All were completed in the summer of 2010

The first is a movie poster for... you guessed it, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir.

The second is for the Eileen Yaghoobian's documentary:

The third is a social awareness poster on the issue of tiger extinction:

I honestly don't know who owns the rights to The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, but it definitely isn't me. Yaghoobian's film belongs to her. And tiger extinction is something everyone should know about, find out more at the WWF website.
