THE PROJECT – Catwoman is a fictional character featured in American comic books; she is portrayed as the antiheroine and Batman’s adversary. I recreated what the poster would look like for the film Catwoman. I wanted the movie poster to have a mysterious feeling to it with a simple layout, as opposed to having a lot going on in the movie poster to the point of viewers knowing what the plot summary is.
THE DESIGN – My poster consists of a dark raindrop background with Catwoman’s mask and eyes peering out of that darkness. The audience will automatically know who the main character of the movie is with her iconic cat ears and glowing cat eyes. As far as the movie title goes, I decided to go with a bold, legible font and added red claw marks at the end of the title for some aesthetics. The design issue that I had with this particular piece was drawing out the masks and eyes of the main graphic. Using Photoshop, I had to cut around the mask where the eyes are and place a set of cat eyes inside. Then I had to color around the eyes to make it match with the rest of the mask, so that it comes together as one cohesive element on the movie poster. Comparing my creation of the Catwoman movie with existing movie posters, I think that it denotes the same type of mood and resemblance of who Catwoman is as a character.
