Okay,
so to start off this blog of mine, I’m just going to be speculating on what I
want to do.
I'm
going to be making a promotional movie poster using my favourite design tool
EVER, Photoshop. I'm not sure what movie I'm going to use yet but you can be
sure that it's going to be a sci-fi/action hardcore blockbuster or something
along those lines because I love that stuff. It's going to be a movie that I'm
really excited for or passionate about because if I tried to do it for a movie
that I don't like, my heart just wouldn't be in it. I'm thinking I might take a
minimalistic approach and do it as simple as possible. But I also really like
doing big jobs and putting lots of detail into the poster image. For example,
when I did a fan poster for the new Star Wars movie coming out in 2015, I put a
reflection of the destroyed Death Star in a battered and grey Stormtrooper visor. Actually,
yeah, now that I think about it, I want to do something I can really put my
heart and soul into. I want to do something dark and edgy in the image because
those kinds of images are always more fun to do and they really interest the
viewers. I’m really excited to start this project because I haven’t done a
hard-core Photoshop project in a while.
I
always say that the work-in-progress looks like shit so when the images and
screenshots of my poster start coming in, don’t be too quick to judge what the
final project will look like! :)
