Latest Update: Final Image: “Cosmic Humanitarians” Final Poster
B-Movie Entry: Andrew Martin
Rough layout of poster. Based closely on the (badly designed) poster for the “Cosmic Monsters” movie.
Current version of my work-in-project poster. I still need one more image in the top right, as well as more marching band members.
“COSMIC HUMANITARIANS” revolves around the late William Booth who is just starting the Salvation Army in London. Booth, played by Norm Forrester, is visited one night by the ghosts of the great humanitarians, Mother Theresa (Andrews) and David Livingstone (Scorsese), who encourage him to start the band and hold tryouts. In a move reminiscent of “High School Musical” and “The Music Man,” Booth pulls together a band that takes London and the world by storm. But when Booth meets a futuristic being, who can say if the world is large enough to contain this formidable force?
This poster is based off of the poster for the movie, “Cosmic Monsters.” Instead of having monsters, I exchanged the main characters for humanitarians. The central characters of the movie are great humanitarians, such as the guy on the lower-left corner of the poster, William Booth, who started the Salvation Army. Building off of the Salvation Army theme, I included a drum major in the top-left corner and a top view of band members throughout the middle of the image. For the actor names, I researched various humanitarians, especially movie stars. The star, Norm Forrester, is actually the mascot for my school, and the reason I chose Julie Andrews and Martin Scorsese for the next two actors was to emulate the names on the original poster which, when next to each other, reminded me of my own name, “Andrew Martin.” Finally, instead of using “a DCA Release,” I used “MCA,” since that is a prominent building for the arts on our campus.
Layout, typography, style, and color are all closely based off of the feel of the original “Cosmic Monsters” movie poster.
