Exhibition 2011: Progress & Logos

I spent the past few weeks thinking about the title for poster number 3. The concept had slowly strayed from the idea of the posters and although it was looking good, it didn’t really fit in with the rest of the ideas anymore.So I went back and changed the title and suddenly it’s a lot stronger!?

Despite only a rough idea, poster number 4 has taking shape very quickly. I had a couple of style ideas/techniques I was unsure about, but they have actually worked out.

I’m still trying to find a preferred technique for lighting/removing the green screen in the background. Areas such as hair still seem to be the trickiest and I’m getting quite a lot of colour spill on costumes.

I have the idea for poster 5, I just need to organise the shoot now. That will give me a chance to try some different lighting and see if keying the background gets easier.

It’s hard not to be inspired in some way by Dead Island, I’ve been playing it for the last week and despite the really annoying problem with the game not saving (meaning I’ve given up playing it) I do really love the logo for the game. So I’ve tried to do something like it for poster 4.
