STOKER MOVIE POSTCARD DESIGN
Back once again! I’ve entered a design competition hosted by Talenthouse to create some artwork for the release of a new film Stoker. The idea was simply to come up with a postcard design that will be used in promotion.
To give you a brief description of the design I decided to keep it very simplistic with a straight black and white colour scheme as I felt it was more striking.
The design draws upon a few elements and themes which I observed when researching the film.
Firstly the brogue shoes that the protagonist wears are used as the main image here. There is a scene in the film where these shoes are swapped for a more mature and elegant woman’s heeled shoe. I believe this represents the characters transition from adolescence to adulthood. The unravelled lace represents this but also represents how the world of the protagonist and her mother becomes more and more undone following the death of her father.
There is also a murderous theme that runs through the film which I simply represented with a flick of blood on the shoe. This also acts as a design element for composition balance and to help suggest the form of the shoe.
Anywho as it’s a vote-based competition I would appreciate any support. If you don’t mind taking a couple o’ secs, voting is open from Feb 4th 6pm – Feb 11th 6pm (GMT). Here’s a link to the page: Talenthouse – Ainsley’s Stoker design
