Final Posters

This is the final poster for the Freak Show season. I changed quite a lot of it from the mock up I had created. I decided to get rid of the clowns face and just have his smile, and nose placed on the background, this allowed me to have him placed in the centre and be able to place font around it. I added a sort of sketched style to the nose and the smile to give them a sort of rough and distorted look. For the teeth I removed the 3D effect and feel they look much better in 2D and actually stand out more. I felt the original background was too light and bright so I made it a very dark colour, almost black. I think this makes it look more creepy as the teeth and nose realy contrast and stand out. I was going to use the american horror story font but thought it looked better by using the same font for both bits of text and making them suitable for the genre and style of the season. 

This is the poster I made for the Asylum season, it's not much different from the mock up. I just added a few textures to the nuns faces, giving them a static look, and used a scratched look on the inverted cross used for the eye to make it look like it was cut into the nun. I used a grainy look for the background and made it darker. I really like the scratched font and like how it matches the cross. On both posters I added the names of the creaters of the show on top and put 3 of the main actors names on the bottom. I'm really pleased with how these have turned out and think that they match both Saul Bass and Horror genre style.

Poster Mock Ups

This is my poster mock up for the season Freak Show. For the 'American Horror Story' font I went on Dafont.com and found the font that most looked like the actual font they use for the TV show. I warped the font in Illustrator to give it the kind of wave effect. I wanted to do this to see how the font would look like in a different form. I decided to include a different font for the 'Freak Show' text, as the show is set in the 50's I found a font that was a similar style to old fashioned font that would have been used then. I stretched the font  Vertically to make it taller. For the image I decided to use Twisty the clown that has been used in the show from the first episode. To show that he was evil I thought it would be a good idea to give him an evil smile, I was able to create this by using very sharp, pointy teeth. I'm really pleased with how this has turned out and think I was able to achieve the Saul Bass style without losing the American Horror Story style.

This is the second poster I created, it is for the same show but a different series which is based in an asylum. As the asylum is run by the church, there is a lot of nuns used throughout the season and one gets possessed by the devil. To show the different nuns I decided to include one good one and the one who gets possessed. To show the one was possessed I thought it would be good to use the Anti Christ sign and give her an Inverted Cross for an eye and even made it red to show danger and fear. I like how there isn't much difference between the two but the little detail is able to show that something is wrong with the one on the right. For the font I used the American Horror Story font, much like the first poster to show that they belong to the same franchise. For the Asylum font I wanted to find a creepy/scary font. I like the scratched effect on the font I chose. To edit the font I compressed it so it was shorter and wider than it originally was so it would easily in the space available without overlapping the nuns. I'm really pleased with this poster and think I was able to keep both the Saul Bass style and the American Horror Story style.
