Red Planet
Project Summary:
Red Planet is a conceptual movie poster designed as a personal project, blending classic science fiction visuals with a sense of eerie wonder. Set against the vast, starry expanse of space, the poster features a lone astronaut floating above the ominously glowing surface of a red planet. The tagline, “Some places shouldn’t be explored,” adds an element of suspense, hinting at the dangers and mysteries lurking within this alien world.
The title, Red Planet, appears in bold red sans-serif font at the bottom of the poster, situated where the light fades into shadow on the planet’s surface, symbolizing the thin line between discovery and peril. This design emphasizes high contrast and minimalism, drawing focus to the central figure and enhancing the tension of isolation in an unknown realm.
This project demonstrates my skills in composition, typography, and color theory, using bold design choices to convey mood and narrative. By including Red Planet in my portfolio, I aim to showcase my ability to create visually captivating, story-driven designs that engage the viewer’s imagination.
RockFest Flyer
Project Summary:
The RockFest poster is a personal project created to capture the dynamic energy of an indie music festival through bold design and engaging visuals. This conceptual promotional poster highlights Mary Smith as the headliner, with a striking image that sets the tone for the event. Supporting acts Aiko Li and Jonh Smith are showcased with outlined profile images, maintaining a cohesive style and adding depth to the composition.
The poster uses a bold sans-serif font for the event title and details, giving it a modern and impactful look. A contrasting color scheme of black, white, and cyan guides the viewer’s eye across key information, such as performance details, perks like free drinks and parking, and the opportunity to win merch and tickets.
Designed as an exercise in layout, typography, and visual hierarchy, this project demonstrates my ability to create effective promotional material that balances information with aesthetic appeal. Including RockFest in my portfolio highlights my skills in crafting visually compelling, concept-driven designs.
