Project 3: Poster - Original idea


This is an original story of mine, it started off as a concept of what if to elves humans were known as folk lore, a story to scare off small elves, it evolved into a story about how elves are taken out of their lands when hunting alone and made into slaves, there is one company who wants to harness the magical energy of elves and implant them into humans - Cyrus was an experiment who gone wrong, he got the abilities but along with them he is now infused with the spirit of the elf used to give him his powers. This was to represent the power given to him by the elf and also show that she is still there.

  1. I really like this poster a lot! I love the artwork and the special effects that were drawn. The only thing i would comment on, is the text. I wish is was a little bigger and had an outer glow to show an aura. GREAT JOB!

  2. Really nice! I like how the characters were drawn by you, it gives more of an original feeling. The lines going across the poster seem to be a bit distracting and make part of the text hard to read though. Nice poster

  3. The character on the left is difficult to see. She blends in to the background a little bit too much. The one line with all the spots at the bottom of the poster is interfering with the font a little bit. The idea is really neat and the colors used throughout the poster appear to work well and compliment each other. The design layout is very good as well.

  4. Great poster design. I like the art style for both the characters. The text could be a bit bigger and the blue line on the bottom of the text makes the last few word hard to read.

  5. Wow! This came out really good Liz, I do like the backdrop feel. The text could be a little more explained or maybe a little more tied into the image. Other than that the drawing is awesome and the colors are great.

    1. Another thing that I would change is to take out the horizontal line at the bottom, it draws my attention a little too much.

  6. I really like it a lot. Everything seems carefully put into the place. Eventhough I don't know anything about the story, still I don't know anything, but I feel I know its atmosphere through the two you put in your poster. Love it. Love it. Love it.

  7. Wow, nice concept, and nice poster too! i like the character designs you made for it. the character on the left is a little hard to see though. and some of the color surrounding the male character's hand is kind of blurring out part of his design.

    other than that, great job!

  8. I actually really like this! I don't really have a negative lol but since we need one i would maybe say... the box where the text is.. i would blend it in with the background so you wont be able to tell that the box is separate.

  9. This really good. I like how it was all hand drawn too and its your own story so its very original. I like the text you used for it, but maybe change the bottom text to maybe make it a bit bigger and have some sort of out line around it so you can see it better. Also blend the box around it to the background more so it doesn't look separate, but other then those things great job with this.

  10. I think the most interesting and successful parts of this poster is the section with the two figures and how the right hand figure fades in and out of transparency and opacity as she interacts with the colored spiral. I am glad you used your own drawings to create this- and learned how to transform your drawings and do new things with them through Illustrator’s tools. You really activated the space of this design through lots of layering-it is very rich. There are just a few things that I would continue to play with to make it stronger. I would continue to work with the upper text-I think the font you used works well with the tone of your story- I might play with making it more bold or maybe even slightly larger. It needs a little more power to stand up against the teal aura in the center of the piece. I would also play with the background brown-I think brown is a good choice, but maybe a darker brown? Try it and see. This might give even more drama or contrast to the piece. I would also play with the location of the figure on the left. Her elbow comes very close to the edge of the poster. I would either move her over towards the right more (which would cause her to come behind the other figure slightly. Just a small amount of space will create less tension between her elbow and the edge of the poster.

  11. I like the use of the figures, the effect of the blue swirly light element. It might be interesting to see more done with the title text. Perhaps made the text at the bottom easier to read? I'm nit picking though.

  12. I didn't notice the character on the left side right away. I personally like how she doesn't pop out right away, because the focus is intended to be on the guy on the right side. I would like the blue swirl that's on the guy's face were a little more transparent. No major flaws in the design that i can see, though. Nice work.

  13. I love this. Looks like some marketing poster for a game! Well done.

  14. The characters and effects on this design look very cool. But maybe the font on the text doesn't feel like it goes with it, at least to me. Other than that, I don't see other flaws b.c it just looks epic.
