Hyde Park Picture House: Scott Pilgrim Poster

Over the weekend I created my entry for the Hyde Park Picture House poster competition. I went into the brief aware that I wanted to work quickly due to my heavy workload in other areas so I immediately ruled out drawing of any kind. Instead I focused on collage, an area that I have been interested in since Visual Language last year. I began by collecting a series of images from the already existing Scott Pilgrim Movie campaign.

From these images I sketched out a few ideas for poster designs, my favourite being a design that calls back to a wrestling event poster with characters on either side of a 'vs' symbol.

I then made a rough collage of images within Photoshop and refined from there; playing with size, colour, halftone etc. The development for this can be viewed below:

As stated above, I chose to make this a quick response, however despite of this, I am very happy with the outcome and hope to at least come in the top 5 finalists.
