Abstract


Film posters have the characteristics of intuitiveness, forms, culture and contampareity. Their propaganda environments are also extensive. Thus posters can spread film information effectively and quickly. To fully realize their propaganda effects, designers should deeply analyze the key elements and art characters of the visual signs of film posters, explore the principles and methods of words signs, illustration signs, color signs in designing film posters, and improve design connotations of film posters.
