Fictional posters were made for a graphic design class, for Tarantino's movie "Django Unchained".
The first one is a commercial poster, where I tried to represent the sense of past times in which the movie is based, mainly by the use of halftones and textured paper; and the use of violence and blood, characteristic of the movie director, by the use of the colour red, so present in the movie.
The second one is a promotional poster. For this one, I tried to make a jigsaw based on the Gestalt's Law of Past Knowlegde, as the relation between the two main components of the poster won't be fully understood until after watching the film; and the Principle of Reification and Multistable Perception, as the main figure of the poster is based in two objects, which are both a separate element and part of the other, by a relation of background-foreground in both senses.
The last one is the poster for festivals. This one is a flat-style portrait of the main character of the movie. The choice for the background colour of the poster comes straight away from the movie and the story behind it, as the movie is based on slavery years and revolves around the idea of racism, viewed mainly through the vision of the main character, a black man in an era of racism and slavery.
