Well, the Movie Preview Network's State of the Art Film Poster Design Competition (...phew!) was brought to my attention by my friend Elanor some time before the deadline and was a great opportunity to enter a poster design competition for one of two possible films- very exciting, I'm rather into designing posters after all!
In the end, life and work got in the way, things got busy and I ended up with a grand total of about 1 hr 15mins left to create my design in Photoshop (from a bit of a rough doodle I had stored in my head) and submit it online!
So suffice to say I'm not best pleased with the result as there is a lot more I'd have liked to have done - making the text pop out a bit more in certain areas where it is getting a little lost, filling up some of the matte black areas with texture or provided visual materials from the film, and just generally neatening the idea up a bit. But I wanted to enter it in time for the deadline so I had to send in what I would normally have considered the 'first draft' and you can see the result by clicking HERE.
There are 3 other entries currently up in the gallery so, I'll just have to wait and see! *fingers crossed*
(More poster design news of the theatre variety coming shortly...)
