Otherwise known as the Four Icon Movie Poster Challenge.
I know I am *so* three weeks ago. All the other 4 icon movie posters were fantastic, fun and done ages ago. Zeitgeist, I am not.
Anyway, I’m in a zone of non-sleep creativity, so I have to strike while the iron is hot. Not a lot of deep thoughts on these drawings other than I continue to hate the fact that I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE drawing on my iPad. <3 SketchBookPro. [Grrr lack of file structure. Grrr DRM.]
Movie Poster 1: Can you name this movie? HINT: It’s in theatres March 2011. I tried to not make the icons spoilers, but don’t worry- the movie does that all on its own. Groan. So. Disappointed.
How about this one? Movie Poster 2. Probably no surprises here, no hints needed.
Now I will describe this process in scientific terms: take a story, boil it down so that all extra liquid evaporates until only 4 precipitates remain. This was actually more difficult than I imagined because it assumes there is actually some substance in the story. I purposely left a lot of white space in the images because I originally was going to put the movie title, like Kyle does. But after playing the guessing-game along with a few different assignment submissions, I think I prefer no title.
Actual DS106 Assignment Description: Reduce a movie, story, or event into its basic elements, then take those visuals and reduce them further to simple icons. (Thanks to Kyle Tezak for starting the challenge, and Tim Owens for submitting. Read more here: www.kyletezak.com/
I just read that description again. It does not necessarily have to be a movie plot. Now I want to do the bible or something equally epic: As I lay dying? Moby Dick? DS106Radio? Elegance of a Hedgehog? Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy? The Glass Bead Game?
At this rate, I’ll never sleep again.
I;m stumped now on the movies (which is good, they should be hard), but have to say I love, love, love the sketched icons- you have talent!
And never apologize for when you do an assignment; this is not your ordinary course, its all creativity, all the time
The second film is The Warriors, no? First film….haven;t seen it, but my guess is Thwe Adjustment Bureau—-like the use of circuitry in those icons for sure. Anyway, what do I win?
@cogdog thanks for the compliment and sorry about that, I won’t apologize any more! (jk) I should know that you wouldn’t know either of the movies bc you already said you had to IMDB The Warriors. The Adjustment Bureau is out in theatres just now so I suppose I’ll have limited guesses on that.
EXCEPT for @jimgroom – the movie talent. You win an escalation in stature,
graduating from mere a cult of personalityinto true iconic precipitate! Congrats, the ghost of Ed McMahon is on his way to bring you a cheque.Everytime you call me cult of personality I write it down in a little book, just so you know.
