Photo Composite Movie Poster Design

Objective:
Create a visually dynamic poster for a fantasy sci-fi movie that doesn’t rely on an “A” list celebrity photo as it’s main engaging factor.

Process:
Many photos were gathered from different sources and had to be colour graded together in order to feel harmonious and unified in a scene. In order to merge the concepts of high fantasy and science fiction into a single theme I chose a cozy sod house photo and added a whimsical fantasy door, but then blended in a solar panel to suggest technology. Then layered lighting was designed to add depth and a sense of height to the background, with a nebula above the typographic logo to draw the eye back up to the movie title. The entire poster was designed with harmony and eye movement in mind.
