Hi all,
There's a really funny Canadian Korean sitcom called Kim's Convenience and a poster was made to represent every episode's theme. I think a lot of these are great. It's also nice to see a variety of styles and approaches in drawing plus design.
Some are story moments that are composed for a poster format. Check these out.

Fun! These make me feel like I need to retake a basic class in graphic design!
ReplyDeleteOne of the main goals of this class is not only to make images better but also to decide on the intended use of the art. Let's make art with a specific intended function.
ReplyDeleteAre we making art that we intend to be displayed on a house wall as part of decor? What is the function for the piece? Who is the target audience? Or is the art meant to make people interested in something like a film, tv show, or concert/performance? Or is it just made as a personal painting? Maybe we want to paint a piece we want to sell through a gallery.
If we're making posters, then we need to plan out what the final size needs to be. Theatrical play posters are a specific size, movie posters have a standard size and we need to leave room for information such as title and credits. Comic Convention art prints are normally 11"x17".
So if you're thinking about doing a story moment illustration, think about what it's for. Is it to explore a theme that you want to potentially develop into a series to print into an art of book? Is it to pitch a story to be made like a screenplay to sell? Or is it just a piece that has a story that you'd like to talk about? Perhaps that's enough of a reason to have it on your wall to serve as a conversation piece.
I want you to start thinking about these things and really select the purpose for your final art piece which we will begin to develop very soon!
Okay! Sounds good!
