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.
