What you will get

An elegant film festival poster with a minimalist film reel forming a sun over layered mountains, deep blue and gold, sophisticated serif lettering for the festival name, a subtitle, fine laurel details and balanced negative space.

Common mistake

The festival name or the year is misspelt.

Fix: Keep the name short and in quotes. If letters break, leave blank space and add the text in a design tool.

Also watch for

The poster is busy and loses its calm look. Say “lots of empty space, only the reel, the mountains and the laurels”.
People’s faces appear and look odd. Follow the tip and use an abstract symbol, such as a reel or a spotlight, rather than faces.

Try a variation: short film night

Change it to “a short film night for students: a spotlight beam over a small stage, a deep purple and silver palette”. Keep the generous empty space for the schedule.
