While ago we did a project about film posters. We were given three names of diferent type of movies from which we had to redesign poster in minimalistic style. Those are my alternatives for Only God Forgives.
The idea behind this poster was a symbolic hand gesture in the film. It symbolises the punishemnt ; god - character of cop played by Vithaya Pansringarm, punishes the main character played by Ryan Gosling for his crimes, by chopping his hands of with a machete.
For the colour scheme I chose the pin and purples as the film was created in the red ;symbolic for blood colour, theme and
it seemed like purple was a good alternative for it.
The idea behing this poster was to use a non digital technigue of creating rorschach test paint blots illustrating the dragon
in colour. Than i decided to manipulate it in Photoshop, add text and define the design.
This ia my handmade poster. The dragon face I did with paint printing even sides by folding paper and the type is writen/ illustrated using siple letter stencils.
