POSTER 3 [ process - #DES101 ]

For poster 3, the guidelines were to create a storyboard/wireframe containing 12 frames and showing at least 3 key moments(for example, set the scene, develop the plot, the reveal)

The Haiku that I chose to use for my poster was

"The Darkness descends

nocturnal beast come to feast

craving for lost souls"

I started off with creating a brainstorm of what I wanted during the tutorial (03/04).

I then created a draft of my storyboard.

I used different photos to help draw facial expressions to help portray my story better. Main expressions I used were confused and shocked faces.

Following along, I scanned some of the images to help draw them onto a digital format using my iPad. These GIF below is a time-lapse that follows along the process of tracing over a drawing/digital drawing.

Below is my final poster.

The Forest of Souls

Size: 40cmx40cm

Technique: Photoshop, Adobe Draw, Digital Illustration

This is my poster 3 called "The Forest of Souls." This storyline follows along a man with a money addiction, as he gets lured into the forest of souls where people with bad problems are taken away. He gets lured in, however, wakes up from his dream but in the last scene you can see that the souls and demons are still underneath his bed, meaning that it wasn't just a dream but something he is facing/foreshadowing what he will have to face from his own "demons". From my final poster, Something good was that I create a cohesive piece of work that all match and have the same style. I like the way I used colour theory to help portray and create depth behind my poster instead of just using random colours, however, next time I would try and include more colours to help develop my skills. I tried using a different skill to my previous posters so I chose to try digital drawing.
