I have decided to choose between the Italian made DOLCE VITA and MEMENTO. Stay tuned to find out which one it will be...

Project #2_Movie/TV Series Animated Theme

The second project will involve making the beginning or end credits for a Movie or TV Series. I will focus on original artwork through illustrations and the use of AfterEffects to execute. I will have a tentative list of possible choices; they will be diverse and unique (i.e. language, genre, and region.)

FINAL 4 DEXTER Teaser Posters

DEXTER Teaser_Glove/Fingerprint Version UPDATE

I decided to simplify the design. I went for a single 6 and a fingerprint on the edge of the page. I think this works much better than the other one. I also improved the shadow. Hopefully these changes will improve the composition.

DEXTER Teaser_Can Spill Version UPDATE

I slightly moved illustration down. Additionally, I spelled out six because people were not really getting the meatballs in the shape of a 6.

DEXTER Teaser_ Broken Slide/Darkness Version UPDATE

I decided to make the tagline a little bit smaller. It seemed to crowd the edges of the poster. Made small adjustments with the layout; miniscule but noticeable to the trained eye. Thanks Ms. Brandao for your tutorage. It has come in handy with this version.

DEXTER Teaser_ Hand Version UPDATE

I made the hand 95% smaller to open up some room. I deleted the texture because I felt in the end it was unnecessary. The tagline "Darkness Endures" was made bigger but proportional to the rest of the text and dimensions of poster. The other version will stand as is for visual impact; I believe it can stand on its own as an icon for the next season. I am using a lot of the decision making skills that Stephen Purnell bestowed on me.

Big thanks, Steve-O

DEXTER Teaser_ Hand Version UPDATE

Bainstorm...

With the 4th version, I am thinking of dropping all those 6s. I think I'm going to go with just one. I will put blood (add some highlights)on top of the fingerprint and play with the headline 'Yes, I wanna play...I really, really do!' Put all of this on the page that the hand is on.

Brainstorm...

Going back to the Can version, I have had people say that the six is not too distinguishable. The meatballs are suppose to make the shape of the 6. However, it seems that it is not reading that well. I will try to use some more color to help it read better.

Brainstorm...

I am somewhat satisfied with this version. The concept is that Dexter is getting careless even when he is fully prepared (i.e. the gloves but there are tons of fingerprints with blood mocking him); I am alluding to the possibility of him getting caught. It needs something or less of something. I am not quite sure but, again, I will look at it tomorrow with fresh eyes. Any comments are highly welcome and appreciated on this one...

Brainstorm...

I like the idea so far with the spilled can. However, it seems unfinished. I quickly added some white highlights to the blood which have helped. I will see it tomorrow with fresh eyes and take it from there.

DEXTER Teaser_Cracked Glass Version

Brainstorm...

I am thinking of dropping the texture from the poster. I am also considering doing a poster with a black background, white hand and red 'Dexter'. 'SEASON' will be in white and possibly play with 2011 and the headline "Darkness Endures."
