RESEARCH: FILM POSTERS: GENRE: DOCUMENTARY


Documentaries are somewhat of a strong intertest for me. I watch a documentary most weeks and a few if I have time. Everything from human interest stories, political to art and sports.

Illustration, graphic and Photography play the strongest part in the design of most documentary posters. Documentaries about life stories typically tend to have more Illustration or graphic design based designs while environmental and political type documentaries rely more on photography or photo manipulation for their deigns.
