The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
I was assigned to watch this movie and design a poster, DVD cover, and motion title. The movie takes place in India in the present day. Telling a story of seven retired elderly people who choose to take a vacation to the Marigold Hotel, which was falsely advertised with promises of good times and a relaxing place to rest your head. While watching the movie the first thing I noticed was the strong and vived colors that flow throughout the towns that were visited in each scene. Along with the architecture I wanted to capture the busy environment that gives life to the film.
I painted my poster using acrylic paint and altered the typefaces Goudy Old Style and Poor Richard for my title. My DVD cover is a collage of illustrations that mock the character faces in the movie, drawn using color pencils. Each piece carries in some form a connection to one another, such as the sky and colors that are used. I hope you enjoyed my work, just as I enjoyed making it.
