The document provides instructions for creating a movie poster for the film "Drive" in 3 steps:
1) Photos of a model and muscle car were taken and backgrounds removed in Photoshop.
2) The model and car photos were illustrated as vectors in Photoshop and Illustrator.
3) The final poster was created in Photoshop by compiling the illustrated photos with text and lines inspired by the original poster design.
2. A bit about Drive(Film synopsis)
Driver (Ryan Gosling) is a skilled Hollywood
stuntman who moonlights as a getaway driver for
criminals. Though he projects an icy exterior, lately
he's been warming up to a pretty neighbor named
Irene (Carey Mulligan) and her young son, Benicio
(Kaden Leos). When Irene's husband gets out of jail,
he enlists Driver's help in a million-dollar heist. The
job goes horribly wrong, and Driver must risk his life
to protect Irene and Benicio from the vengeful
masterminds behind the robbery.
3. Drive (The Poster)
? The poster you see on the right side is the official poster of
the movie ‘Drive.
? In the poster, there’s a model who’s first shot and then his
image is illustrated with background removed.
? And then there’s this muscle car with a guy standing in
front of it. Later, this is illustrated as well.
? Moreover, there’s this “DRIVE” written below the two shots
in a way that it highlights the name of the movie.
? Plus, there are random lines in the background with pink
and black shade so that it won’t look weird without a plain
background or something like that.
4. Drive Poster’s Model Shoot
For the model, we went to a random court
in our college and clicked a couple of shots.
Since we didn’t like the lightening, we went
to parking lot and then clicked a few more
photos. The picture you see on the right is
the final decided photo that we later
illustrated.
Also we removed the background of this
image using Adobe Photoshop since we
didn’t want random cars or stuff to mess
with our movie’s poster.
5. Drive Model’s illustrated picture
? Using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe
Illustrator, we finally came up with this
vector. The background here is white
since we exported it as a jpeg file
rather than png file.
6. Drive Poster’s Automobile Shoot
? The same day, we shot a couple of
pictures of a random guy’s car. This is
the picture we selected to illustrate
and use in the movie’s poster.
? Once again, we had to remove the
background of this image so we used
Adobe Photoshop to do the stuff.
7. Drive Poster (Illustrated Car)
? The picture you see on the right is the illustrated
picture of the car for the poster. Once again,
we exported the picture as a jpeg file rather
than the png. This is why you see a white
background.
? The vectors were stored in 300 resolution so the
pixilation right here should not matter much.
8. Final Poster (DRIVE)
? And here is the final poster that we created by
using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator.
? We compiled the pictures into one. And for the
background, we traced the stuff from the original
poster.
? And for the name of the movie, we used Adobe
Illustrator to make it look exactly like the original.
