This is my poster I've created inspired by the very exciting up and coming third volume of the epic Johnny Tsunami series. Look for it in theaters October 2010.I'm glad the over all gray/sickly green color theme worked out in this one. I originally wanted to make Grandpa Tsunami tinged green, but I had some difficulty. Luckily, the greenish outer glow coming off of the grayscale Grandpa seemed to create the same effect. The glow has that rough, slimy spread look because I cut out the Grandpa picture a bit sloppily, without completely smooth edges. The surfboard to his right originally had the same sloppy cut, but it wasn't working quite as well; it ended up looking jagged and ugly in a computerized way rather than cool and zombie-like. After some help from the professor I was able to make a relatively quick and easy fix and it worked well.
I wish the text along the bottom could have been made to be a bit easier to read, without making it stand out too much and becoming distracting. I toyed with it for a while, but was unable to come up with anything that was a cool balance between the two.
Over all, I think it was silly success.
I think the board edge turned out well. I like the use of a subdued palette in this. Also the way that the gray gradient as a background ties to the figure in the foreground.
ReplyDeleteIs the font Papyrus? Whichever one you used, it has a family resemblance to Chinese & Japanese Caligraphy, so that works well with Grandpa Tsunami.
