Movie Poster today

My personal favorite Movie Posters of the last 3 years,

I dont think they are necessary better. 

Some people might get lost in all this useless information.

Sometimes less is more.

Another Movie Poster.

In the good old days, they knew how to mix different media.
A good example of illustration mixed with photography

Old school

Dave Dorman

DoB: 1/10/1958
PoB: Bay City, Michigan   USA

Dave Dorman has been around for a long time,
illustrating book covers and drawing amazing pieces of
art for Star Wars, Indian Jones, Highlander and many more.

I found an interview with him in the current FX magazine.
He is talking about how he got started and how he got
inspired by the Star Wars and the Aliens Movies.
He also said that George Lucas, the creator of Star Wars,
bought some of his artworks himself.
In 1993 he won the Eisener Award for best Painter,
for his illustration in the book: Alien tribes.



















My favorite statement of the interview is:


quote:

"One of the unfortunate drawbacks in doing so much licensed work is that I was branded as  a commercial artist,"

" No matter how hard I triedto bridge myself over  to the creative side - the film making side - of Lucasfilm, I found my way blocked by how I was seen within the organisation, based on my work I had done for them. "

common rows or columns, or their bodies along a common center

Task 3 Magazine Article Review

Advanced Photoshop

Issue 61

Article: Holding your own exhibition. page 72 - 77

I was quite impressed by the fact that a magazine like advanced photoshop which is usually base on tutorials, has runs an article on "holding your own exhibition".

It comes with all sort of tips and tricks, how to hold your own

exhibition, how to calculate the costs,

how to choose what to display

and many many more.

If you are thinking about an exhibition

you definetely should check out this article.

A quote of his website:

Zach Bush, a freelance illustrator, is based outside of Washington D.C. As of 2006,

he has diligently worked to perfect his skills by consistently taking on new projects

by various corporate clients. Zach's success is largely due to his perfectionist nature,

as he will never release a project until he is 100% confident it can not be improved upon any further.
