Oscar 2016 Emojis

At the office where I am freelancing, there was this flurry of activity where designers were re-imagining posters for Oscar nominated movies.

Since I found myself in the middle of another project, I did not have the time to join their meetings. But I could not help thinking about what I could do. So I thought this simplest and most fun way to do this project was reimagining what it would be like to summarize the movies with emojis.

Below are the emojis I would use for each nominated movie…except the fact that I only watched one of the nominated movie this year.

I designed a bunch of #alternativemovieposter using #emojis #oscar2016 #movie. Here's to #TheBigShort #design
