“Carmen” Movie Poster
Adobe Photoshop
The image on this page is a movie poster I designed for a fake film called “Carmen.” The whole process was executed in Photoshop once I had taken the pictures I had wanted for the main character. I wanted something hyper-stylized and gritty for the noir world I had in mind when I conceptualized the movie. The picture in the background was from my trip to Japan, and the red color from the lights set off the color scheme I went with for the entire poster. I have always loved the look of colors popping from a black and white image. I used the crown on Carmen’s head to add more grit and to make her pop from the red color surrounding her.
