The following movie posters were created to interpret typographically four
chosen movies. Each movie was taken individually and a unique characteristic
of each was taken and captured in the posters through the use of typography.
Shoot down
In the mid-to-late 90s, thousands of Cuban refugees attempted to cross the Florida Straits
by whatever means available - small boats, homemade rafts and inner tubes.
Only one in four rafters made it to U.S. shores, with tens of thousands perishing at sea.
A volunteer group based in Miami called “Brothers to the Rescue” was formed to patrol
the Straits in small civilian aircraft, offering aid to rafters. On February 24th, 1996, in the
midst of heightening political unrest in Cuba and in the wake of a revised U.S. policy toward
Cuban refugees, the Cuban government authorized two military fighter jets to attack and destroy
two of the volunteer planes. (Trailer)
