Movie Posters
Movie Posters
In my Advanced Design course in the fall of 2022 we were asked to create movie character posters based off of an already existing set. For mine, I chose the movies "The French Dispatch" directed by Wes Anderson and "The Green Knight" directed by David Lowery. I love movies, so I had a lot of fun picking what movie poster designs I liked the most recently.

“The Green Knight”
I never actually saw "The Green Knight", because although I love movies, I fall asleep 80% of the time. However, the only reason I wanted to watch the movie was because of the set of character posters I saw online. I already had a similar font for the gothic yellow one from a different project, and I decided to make the main title font in Illustrator. I modified a font I already had so that it would match the inspiration's style. The image of the girl is taken from a separate photo that I took, then heavily altered the shadows and highlights so that they would match the original's shading. I added texture to the photo and background to give it the same treatment as the other.
“The French Dispatch”
I chose to do "The French Dispatch" because I loved the movie and the director, Wes Anderson, always has creative and eye-catching movie posters. The graphic designer for the movie, Erica Dorn, did a set of character posters in the style of the magazine in the movie, so that is what I tried to mimic. The background of mine is my psychology notes, and a page from my agenda that year. I couldn't find a font similar enough to the one they use for the real poster, so I made that element in Adobe Illustrator and put it on my Photoshop document. The image of myself was cut out of a image of myself and placed in front of everything to look like the inspiration.
