1. Read the memo. Then, choose the correct answers.

Memo

To: Andrew

From: Belinda

We need to change the poster design for
film projects.The client did not like the simple
shapes. He thinks that the film requires a more
complex poster. He especially did not like the titles in
square boxes. In general, the lines are too straight.
I suggest a design with more curved lines.
Add some circular shapes so that the poster is not so
rectangular. Some straight lines are still okay.
However, use some different angles. Maybe try
diagonal lines here and there. That will make the
theme more triangular.
Please send me a new design by this
afternoon.
– Belinda
