ODC #000004 - GRAPHIC > POSTER
Redesign any Western Movie and turn it into Bitcoin Ad
Scenario
This will be a special one! @AGORA got inspired by the amazing and amusing visual exploration made by @Scoresby, and ask us to challenge stackers to create a Bitcoin-inspired Wester movie poster.
For this challenge, you are a freelance graphic designer who has been tasked with turning any Western Movie Poster of your choice into a Bitcoin-Ad that will highlight and use some features of the protocol itself, its history and cultural values, the Lightning Network, eCash or any related material, as propaganda to onboard newbies and normies into this fascinating rabbit hole.
Task
Design a poster that is inspired by any classic western movie posters, but that also incorporates elements highlighting Bitcoin protocol, Lighting network or cashu eCash. The poster should be eye-catching and memorable, and it should accurately reflect the tone and mood of the film. Make sure to add catchy taglines, educational quotes and where possible, use the same or similar typographic fonts.
Extra Credit: Instead of just one poster, create a series of them. More posters you create, the bigger the reward you’ll get.
