My school gave me the task to create a movie poster for one of the 5 movies listed. I chose the wave. But the task was, not to just create a certain poster. But i had to follow a certain style, from a certain artist. Called Saul Bass.
Taking a look at his work i instantly liked the simplicity in his style and his playfull way of giving the viewer an instant look of what the movie is about.
In this project you can take a look at the poster i created.
Enjoyed this project? Make sure to follow my behance for more work!
The Wave (Norwegian: Bølgen) is a 2015 Norwegian disaster film directed by Roar Uthaug. It was Norway's official submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards but failed to be nominated.The movie depicts a future event in Møre og Romsdal in which the Åkerneset crevasse collapses, creating an avalanche resulting in an 80-metre (260 ft) tall tsunami (Scientists forecast a landslide induced tsunami of about 30 metres (98 ft) in height.) that destroys everything in its path.
Since Saul bass always uses a simple but clear design (sometimes criptic aswell). I decided to have a wave higher than the mountains and bellow that the title. I've also used uneven typography, since i've noticed most letters in his posters are different heights aswel
Here you can see the result:
Thanks for viewing!
