Final Designs; CD Cover, Logo and Film Poster

These are the three designs that I am submitting as my final designs for the CD cover, logo and film poster. I think they are my best work over the 11 weeks.

The Film Poster

Film Poster - Drive 5

The initial idea was to have the car, side ways, with the 'driver' in front in an authoritative position. However, from the drawing I could tell this would not be an interesting poster to look at. Therefore I decided to change it and as the car was split in three, have three key characters. The characters would be behind the car, and have there own colour scheme in each section, seen below right.

Using the lasso tool I managed to select and isolate the individual characters, scale them and place them behind their own section of car. On the left there is a purple overlay, in the centre is a green overlay and on the right is a orange overlay. I created the individual overlays be selecting the area and then altering the colour balance of each selected area. The title was found on line, I have changes the scale of the title and changes the colour to an off- black. Yet I kept the electric pink outline as I felt it emphasised the text, but also was a throw back to the film. I was pleased with the result of this poster, yet felt that it may appear to have too  much white (empty) space. I trialled a couple of different coloured backgrounds, none really worked with the design. Below is one example, here I am again using the pink to link it to the credits of the film.  

I reverted back to the original background, and went back to the drawing board on ways that I could make this poster a bit more interesting.

One way to make the poster more interesting would be to add text. I knew that I had to add a review, as part of the criteria. However another criteria was the byline, I decided to put a bit of a twist on this and have a quote from each of the three characters from the film. Online there are sites dedicated to the iconic quotes and lines in films, after deciding which ones I would use it was just a case of entering them and changing the colour of the text. By matching the text colour to the character I hope it makes it obvious  that it was them saying it. I like this design a lot, all I needed to do was create a better review and I was done. The finished poster is below.
