This week in the visual development module i have been tasked with creating promotional material for the movie. When composing the poster i looked at the legend Drew Struzan as he has painted almost all of the blockbuster movie posters specifically all of the star wars posters! I experimented with various formats from portrait to landscape. In the end i went with the portrait as it complimented the composition i wanted. The antagonist looms large over the protagonist and his love interest who looks back at a key scene in the movie- the destruction of the upper city. I added text just to make it look more like a poster. The whole process from concept to finished sheet took just over 2 days.
I prefer the colours in the poster above as they seem more harmonious
The above colours were the original colours i chose, purple for the villan, oranges for the protagonists
Above are a few of the colour choices that i looked at.
I started this painting in grey scale first to lay down the tonal values then I painted on the colour
Above are the initial concept sketches, these are very rough and done quickly to experiment with
composition, mood, colour and lighting
