2D Composition, Color and Drew Struzan
This week we chose a poster from Drew Struzan to recreate and identify the composition. I chose an unused poster from Back to the Future.
First I identified the strongest direction of the composition. This one happened to have strong diagonals that cross between Marty McFly's diagonal kneeling position and the watch he sits on. The eye bounces between Marty's face, the watch knob, his parent's faces and back to him.
From the position of the important points of the poster, I determined that this poster uses the RULE OF THIRDS. From the overall shape, I concluded this poster also uses an ICONIC composition.
Process Pictures:
First I did the line work using the pastel brush in photoshop. Then I airbrushed the value in shades of gray. Next I did color blocking of the gold, orange, blue, and skin tone using overlay and color burn layers. Then I painted color overlay layers to bring out more saturated colors. After I finished the foreground elements, I added in the background using air brush and splatter brushes. Lastly, I did a couple of adjustment layers (Exposure to desaturate the layers, Curves color adjustment and then a final overlay of a pencil texture).
