Digital Phase - July 20, 2010

As the mid-semester point has come, I've entered the digital and final design phase of this project. After my last meeting I since rethought my design for Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Having now seen the actual film, the initial idea of figures being hung wouldn't necessarily work, as nether character is actually seen as being hung.

Instead I decided to work off of one of my last comps, the one involving the coin. Throughout the beginning of the play/film, the characters have an ongoing debate as to how many times they would flip 'heads' (98 I believe...). In any case, I have since started constructing elements and have come with thus so far...
The border is based off the designs I had for the previous batch of theater posters. With these I have decided that each would have a border with the school name, giving a rough unity between posters. The blood was an added touch using a recently downloaded set of brushes.

For two of the other posters "Summer and Smoke," and "Christmas Carol" respectively, I have come across an unlikely 'accident.'

Having been inspired by the work done for the faculty and student show posters I have been wanting to incorporate photographic work with digital for some time now. Having been clueless as to what to incorporate in the "Summer and Smoke" poster, this might be a good idea in the right direction. Plus as the semester seems to be moving faster by the day, well you know....










"A Christmas Carol" "Summer and Smoke"

In my last meeting the intial comp for "A Christmas Carol" had a favorable response so I might in fact do both...

More to come...

What follows is the photos incorporated in a rough format of what I'd like to accomplish...
