Goodnight Mommy Movie Poster Sketches


Here are a few sketches and ideas, for a poster of Goodnight Mommy a Austrian horror movie about a other who is fully bandaged all around her face and her sons who don't believe that lady is their mother. I tried to use the most striking imagery throughout the film in my poster, first is obviously the bandaged mum, second is the boys mask, that he creates which is absolutely horrifying and finally is the house they leave in which is extremely modern and in he middle of nowhere in the Austrian country side.

This was the first sketch of just a rough face split between the two characters.


I thought of perhaps a horizantal poster with the english name of the film on one side and the german name for the film 'ICH SEH ICH SEH' on the other side parallel to the characters. The text style for ich seh ich seh is very similar to Saul bass' paper cut style font, so I decided to use this element in my final poster.



Here are a few rough thumb nails, of ideas and shots for the poster. I wanted to go with a big portrait shot of the duo towering above the house, and the title of the film be in the houses shadow. I will use the german name for the film, as I think it will give the poster a more authenticated style than just the plain english title. I reference to myself in the last thumbnail to use my original drawing for the face split.

Mock Up Circus poster sketches

Inspired by carnival and circus type I have decided to create a mock advertisement poster for an old timey circus. I would like it to be mainly type with an image of a clown or two on the page. Below I have done a rough sketch for the typography Following on from this I sketched out some clowns, just quickly jotting down their form and pose with particular attention to the shape and position of the head. The most recognisable thing about clowns in my opinion are their wacky make up so conveying that in my poster is going to be very useful. I am also going to do some rough sketches for shapes that will fit along and decorate the page with pattern.

Final and alternate poster designs for Door to Hell

Image
Using a black and orange colour palette is a creative strategy devised of using the two most opposite colours and contrasting them gives the effect of standing out the most to the readers viewpoint and attention. Which is more likely to get more people to notice something that is black and orange e.g. Traffic signs. I am quite pleased on how the font came out, if anything I think I enjoy the 'door to' letters more than 'hell' as they are more subtle and less overpowering than hell, also the little accents I placed upon each letter I think adorn the type nicely.  This alternative version was inspired by shadows dancing around a fire as it flickers, I researched a few videos of fire and noticed how light manipulates shadows when it comes from a single point. This alternative version just makes use of a the extra space and double layering of font colour, the red here is too bright for the picture really and should be a bit dull, more crimson like.  ...
