The idea behind this work was to create a movie poster for a suspense and action themed movie. I wanted to convey the themes of suspense and danger.
I started with a background of a city at night and put a blue gradient over it. I wanted the viewer’s eyes to start at the top of the page and proceed downwards in a visual hierarchy form of information. So I started off by putting angry characters at the top of the poster to give further insight about what the movie would be about. Then I used blending modes and clipping masks to blend these characters into the gradient and background. For the main character, I have her blown up centered in the middle, then I used a radial gradient and a clipping mask to blend her into the city as well as to create the glow around her. The glow around her further emphasizes that she is the main character by highlighting her in contrast to the darker background. I left the bottom of the poster with more negative space to leave room for the title and tagline of the movie.
For the title I used a light blue in contrast to the background, as well as added a drop shadow and reflection to further make it stand out from the background. I then put the tagline of the movie at the bottom and made this less noticeable but still a lighter blue in contrast.
This Human Nature action based movie poster invokes a sense of excitement and bewilderment into the viewers and I want the poster to leave them with more questions, to further draw them into wanting to see the movie.
