Poster AssignmentBIRDMAN MOVIE POSTER

A bit about Birdman (Film synopsis)

Former cinema superhero Riggan Thomson (Michael Keaton) is mounting an ambitious Broadway production that he hopes will breathe new life into his stagnant career. It's risky, but he hopes that his creative gamble will prove that he's a real artist and not just a washed-up movie star. As opening night approaches, a castmate is injured, forcing Riggan to hire an actor (Edward Norton) who is guaranteed to shake things up. Meanwhile, Riggan must deal with his girlfriend, daughter and ex-wife.

Birdman (The Poster)

The image you see on the right side is the official poster of this movie. In this poster, there is a guy shot from an around 45° angle. The guy is wearing a suit. Later the guy in illustrated and the background is made in one color with no gradient overlay.

After that model’s illustration, there’s this bird which, for sure, is a guy who sat this way, not the real bird.

Later that bird is illustrated and moved on top of this guy’s head.

Birdman Poster’s Model Shoot

My model for this poster was my classmate, named “Abdul Rehman” This guy was way too lazy but ended up with a good picture. The camera used to Nikon D5300 and settings were set to automatic. Here is the final shot we selected for the poster.

Birdman Model’s illustrated picture

And here is the illustrated vector of the model, for the poster. The resolution set for the original vector is 300 which is pretty good if I want to get the thing printed for large scale.

Also, I removed the background of the image since I want a single color overlay behind rather than the wall that was there, originally.

Birdman Poster – The bird Illustration Well, at first, I created the illustration without illustrating the bird. I

cropped the bird from the original poster and copied it to my poster. After showing it to my teacher, I was insulted really bad, to be honest.

She wanted me to illustrate the bird as well. Hence, I had to illustrate the bird and make the poster all over again. Here is the illustration of the bird.

Final Poster (BIRDMAN) And here is the final movie poster I created. This looks

almost exactly like the original poster. The only difference is that the models are different.

This whole thing took me a few days to make and finally, I’m done with it.
