sep tem this month:
this months designs are mostly teaser posters for films in production including some big name sequals, As Well as some releases in the upcoming months. i've tried to keep some of my designs more alternative and artistic seeing As some new official designs feel rather uninspired and creativly constricted. contents: iron man 3 teaser poster expendables 2 teaser poster fight club poster art paranormal activity 3 poster jurassic park 4 teaser poster jurassic park tribute poster jurassic park 4 alternative designs top gun 3d poster
iron man 3 i decided to revisit my older iron man 3 design. i wanted to take the same layout but transfer it to a higher quality a4 size. obviously the film isn’t in production yet so i’ve got no visuals to work with. but what i’ve come up with is something i’m really happy with.

the expen dables 2 i was a big fan of the first film. yes it was really cliché, yes it wasn’t the best film in the world, but with that sort of cast it was always going to work. so when i saw they were making a sequal and the rumoured cast included the likes of chuck norris and van damme, i was more than excited.
i used the logo from the promotional stuff from the first film and i wanted to give the poster a clinical but ‘misty/ foggy’ feel. it’s another teaser poster so i kept it mysterious. [created august 28th 2011]
fight club one of my favourite films and one of my favourite designs i’ve done. i styled the design in the same way as my old pulp ficition poster i chose to add the pink tint as the pink soap features quite heavily in the official promotional material. there’s something about the simplicity of the layout, but the complexity of the images that makes this poster a winner.

para normal acti vity 3 i’ve seen the fist two of the franchise, will i go and see the third? probably not. i don’t get much enjoyment from being made to jump by loud noises and sudden movements for two hours. i do love a well made prequal though... whether this will be one is another matter. opinions aside, the poster i designed was inspired by the trailer that was recently released, with the kids do-
ing the old bloody mary into a mirror thing. creepy. this design is more ‘fan art’ in some ways but the official posters were lazy to say the least. seriously google it. [created

jurassic park
4
the film that most thought might never be made? well at comic con ‘11 spielberg goes and confirms it will be made. luckily they sacked off the potential storyline for dinosaur/human hybrid soldiers. i went with a basic design for this poster. imdb used the roman numerals for the film, so i went with it for my design. on a more subtle note you might notice the logo has been slashed by 4 claws. 4. eh. get it? 4.

this was my back up design for jurassic park 4. in the end i decided it would be good as a tribute poster to the original. it sort of reminds me of an old museum leaflet, which i guess is fitting. [created

__________ the other two designs are ones i was playing around with but ended up being more fan art posters, rather than theatrical designs. [created 30th august & 9th september 2011]
currently being converted into 3d at the moment top gun is back on the big screen at some time in 2012. if there was ever a great way to make a whole bunch of money from an old franchise is to make some bits come out the screen at you and make you pay to see it all over again. granted i wasn’t alive when it first came out, so maybe they’ve been quite clever with this. i went with the iconic aviator sunglasses as the main visual. the blue background was chosen to be representative of the sky. I wanted to keep the colour scheme to just blue and grey to make it more visually striking. [created
