Completed Art Poster





My art poster is finally finished. As you may remember, it was inspired by the minimalistic but deep work of Olly Moss. Visual art constructed from scratch is not my forte, but I was able to capture a little hint of Olly Moss's superimposition-like design in making one plot-specific object merge with another by making the main character's wristwatch coincide with the core of the granny smith apple. I also took a little inspiration from one of the original film posters in which a period at the end of a sentence falls toward Will Ferrell's head, but I made it into the dot of the first "i" in fiction, and decided in the interest of minimalism, not to use a photo of Ferrell's character. I decided that the apple should be the only photorealistic element in the poster in an effort to keep it simple.

My poster does not look exactly like the work of my inspirational artist, but that's to be expected when working with different media while trying to keep a little originality, and overall I'm very happy with it.

Photoshop Color Manipulations


This is my photoshop color manipulation photo. The image on top is the original color image, which was converted to greyscale and then back to RGB Color so that I could use the history brush tool to bring blue
back into her eyes. I then added more blue to her eyes with simple brush tool paint, and then a very low opacity blue tint to her pearls. I then used a very low opacity pink to bring soft color to her cheeks, and a little to her nose and bottom lip.

Art Posters

The artist that I would like to emulate in my art poster is an artist called Olly Moss. He is not particularly well-known, but his Star Wars Trilogy poster reimaginings are recognized web-wide. I think that these posters, as well as his other, primarily minimalist, works are very creative and really cater to true fans who have high familiarity with the content of what he is representing.
