"Spartans! Tonight, we dine in hell!"

For my final piece, I chose to make a movie poster for the film 300 Spartans, based on Frank Miller's popular graphic novel. I used inspiration from designers such as Olly Moss, to establish my idea and used a blend of Adobe Flash and Adobe Photoshop to create, colour and stylise my media text.

Here is my final design:

My final poster I found to be really artistic, simple, attractive and professional. It didn't look overly fan made or tacky, which was a big concern of mine. I liked the way the 300 font blended with the background and the contrast of two main colours within the poster.

300 has a lot of posters with many different quotes and iconic imagery. I decided therefore, to use a quote that hadn't been used previously, to have some originality within my work. Additionally, I think the pictures work well to present the film as a historian/epic, as well as an artistic move, wherein the blank Spartan silhouette reflects the films roots back to a graphic novel. Overall, I was pleased with my final product.
