Minimalist and Traditional Poster for The Grand Budapest Hotel

Minimalist poster for The Grand Budapest Hotel Film

Minimalist design is basic and has  no fancy patterns and includes simple shapes, textures and colours. The point of minimalist design is to be to the point and calming. It normally refers to something which is spare or stripped down. It originated in New York in the 1960s as artists discovered geometric abstraction. 

Above are two posters that are a minimalist design to advertise the film being mentioned. The one on the left is one I found on Google and is very basic and reveals very little about the film, only stating the Wes Anderson produced it. The poster on the right is what I created using Canva an online service. My poster is simple and contains the names of the actors within the film at the bottom and the release date of the film below the film title. I chose to use the keys as they are key within the film and represent a society of multiple hotels that unite.

Traditional poster for The Grand Budapest Hotel

Above this text are two posters one of which was used for professional marketing purposes and the other on the right created by me again using Canva. Both of the two posters include more information such as the actors and actresses listed at the bottom of the poster to not obstruct from key information like the release date. The two posters both feature the hotel centrally in the poster. However, their shapes vary such as one is landscape and the other is portrait suggesting that the orientation of the poster is irrelevant.
