This series is intended to expand to other franchises like Indiana Jones in the future. People sure do like the Criterion layout, and it IS quite versatile, but these are NOT $5 jobs, not by a long shot

Wow.

I'm thinking instead of my doing customs I just hand over the dough to Nissen and have him do them all

That's just a mock-up. Sorry for the tease. PM me if you want to pursue this further. Thanks.

Your mock ups are better then most people's finished products.

I couldn't sleep so I got bored and made a minimalist poster for The Legend of Korra. Just seeking some constructive criticism since this is maybe the 4th or so poster I've made and I figured this would be the best place to go. I'm considering getting a society6 account and seeing if people are interested in my minimalist posters. Anyways done with my rambling, here's the poster (based off of concept art from the show):

I'd suggest adding some shading to the face. Might help add some shape and depth to it. Other than that, I quite like what you've got already!

What areas of the face? Also, I'm considering adding texture to it like the other posters in the gallery. Glad ya like it

jmaravig · 06-30-2012, 07:02 PM

covers for All The President's Men, An Affair to Remember, and The Lion King. I also wouldn't mind covers/slips for Spider-man 1 and 2 since I'll have to redo those eventually too. I'm posting again because of the database loss and I've been out of town for a couple of weeks so trying to get back on this project. :-)

I know the movies aren't connected, but i though the blue style fit with the artwork for SM2 as well.

Sony should of hired you to make the art for the re-releases of 1, 2 & 3. Yours are golden!

Another Legend of Korra Minimalist Poster, again searching for any constructive/artistic criticism:

Just finished this earlier today. Many props go out to Nissen for his Arrow inspired versions.

Here's my version...

An interesting news article here which may inspire some of you designers:

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...magazines.html

An artist who is redesigning movies to look like old pulp books. The Alien one is very good.

There's a link to his blog in the article.

Excellent read.

I've been doing something similar for a Spider-man commission recently. (Rough drafts only)

Hubunkey · 07-01-2012, 09:12 AM

Those look pretty sweet Nissen, are you doing a whole marvel set or is it just for the Spidey trilogy?

I'm only commissioned for Spider-man at the moment. Who knows?

Nissen · 07-01-2012, 01:31 PM

Thunderball finished. This poster was a nightmare to fit. It's interesting to see that everyone does it differently.

Again, these are paid commissions I am not at liberty to share. Sorry.

It's almost painful to look at these because they look so good and I want them on my shelf so badly!
