Art and Design in Movies!!! Evaluating Movie Trailers!
I know this isnt a Design post as such but I just wanted to feature some of the awesome trailers for some Blockbuster movies that are coming out. When I say ‘design post’ I mean I am not posting inspirational pictures etc. but it is still relevant as these sorts of movies can inspire pictures to create and the detail placed into movies now-a-days is remarkable. Special Effects have blasted off and are so realistic it makes you think that there is a chance that some of things could be real. The special effects in movies are the same principal as when creating a surreal picture. You still want the picture to be photo-realistic BUT you want to convey your creativity and personal touch. It all ends up relying on how much time you are willing to spend on each picture and whether you want t0 whip a picture and pay no attention to detail or if you want to create a piece of art that really makes the viewer feel like they are there. Here are some trailers that take art to another level. Watchmen, that is coming out in a couple of days is a classic example of taking art and making into a blockbuster movie that really takes the viewer to another world. Trailers inside >>>> (more…)
2009 Wallpaper for Download!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Happy New Year to everybody. 2008 has flown by so quick and I imagine that 09 will to. I wish everybody a great year and I hope that 09 will be a prosperous year for everyone and some good will come out of it!!!! Typically I have had to work on New Years Day but I get extra pay so it is all good.
I am looking forward to the New Year and the suprises that it will bring, one of the first things I am looking forward to is seeing the finalists for the PSDTUTS.com competition to design a Movie Poster. The competition has now finished (I presume) and hopefully they will announce the winners/finalists soon. I have devoted and put a LOT of time and effort into this project so hopefully some good will come of it but from looking at the other entries it will certainly be a close one!!! If you havent seen I have uploaded another couple of designs so go check em out and if you have a Flickr account then please leave some feedback or something…
I should be putting my first proper ‘art/design inspiration’ post up sometime this week so keep your eyes peeled for that. Plus I am still deciding whether to create a wallpaper for people to download in the spirit of the New Year so drop a comment or opinion on whether I shoul or shouldn’t.
Anyway I think that is all that I have to say so everybody have a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
Entry to PSDTUTS contest!!!
Hey people,
Today I have been heavily involved in doing my first entry to the PSDTUTS Contest to make a ‘post-apocalyptic’ movie poster.
After around 6-7 hours here is my final design:
Hope you all like it. All i started out with was the bounty hunter girl, the girl behind her, the hands and the monument and the rest I either manipulated or created into the picture.
Let me know what you think and if you like it or have any suggestions please leave a comment on here on Flickr!!!(http://www.flickr.com/photos/26811362@N05/3120524810/)
Thanks very much,
