Posters for 'THE CELL'

Image
I had always had a strong idea of what the poster for 'THE CELL' would be. I had visioned a side silhouette of a mans face and then an image within the silhouette. I hoped this would play on the fact that this film has a strong relationship with the mind and what it means to be human, so by having the main focus of poster be what lies within his head seemed appropriate as this is the main theme of our film.  However I struggled with decided which image to have on the poster, I played around with a few options. They're listed below: For this first design, I tried something which I felt was quite traditional. I really love the picture of David, I feel it captures his mood and overall is just a visually good looking photograph, however as I said at the beginning, I feel its quite traditional in the sense of it just being our main actors face. I also feel that even though I like the image, it doesn't really give a sense of what our film will be and all good posters...

Business Cards

Website

After our session with Andrew, I began to shop around for website designs. Tori had mentioned a site, PortfolioBox, which had been recommended to her by a few illustration students. She had mentioned that this was a lot cheaper that the competition like Wix or Square Space, when I looked into the site she was right, it was a lot cheaper, so I decided to move forward with PortfolioBox, this was until I began creating the site and realised that the creator was really complicated and wasn't user friendly at all, and after seeing Andrew use Wix so easily, I figured that may be what you're paying for, the easy user interface. So I swapped things over and moved onto Wix instead. I thought I'd give the A.I. builder a shot to see what it came up with and if I didn't like it, I'd start over. I was happy with what it created for me and felt the whole site was miles ahead of PortfolioBox in terms of freedom to craft your own site. I put a few things together to show Andrew in...
