Poster Design
I'm very interested in poster design and film posters in particular. This interest started when I discovered alternative film and TV posters, this is where artists make their own design for a poster, which is usually more artistic, stylised and specific to the designer's take on the media. I took my interest further by looking at the many designers that do this not only as a hobby but also make a living out of it. Galleries such as Mondo, Gallery 1988, Bottleneck Gallery, Phonebooth Gallery and many others do whole exhibitions dedicated to a certain film, or TV show, or a certain genre, or a certain actor. Some of the designers I'm most interested in are Olly Moss, Kevin Tong, We Buy Your Kids and Anthony Petrie, but I also follow many lesser known designers on Behance. Not only does Behance let me follow many artists that produce work that I'm interested in, but also lets me publish my own work and get feedback from people who who make similar work. I have done posters for many shows and films such as: True Detective, Enemy, Gravity, Game of Thrones, Inception, Donnie Darko and many others, which have all taken influence from the designers mentioned.
These posters are a few that I really like, and some that I actually own, The artists that produced these in order from top to right are; Olly Moss, Anthony Petrie, Ty Mattson and Godmachine.
These designers use mostly vector based images to create their prints, with the additiono fpainting in Photoshop for gradients and shadows, The vector side is what interests me more, as they are able to create such likeness of characters and places using flat shapes, often layered on top of one another to create the effect of shadows.
The images above are all created using Adobe Illustrator by artists on Behance
