Digital Design - Movie Poster

The Brief

Your task is to design an (1) original movie poster and a movie title for (1) from below

Synopsis A

YOU are a Taylors Lakeside Campus student with superpowers, including supersonic flight, invulnerability, immortality, super-strength and etc. YOU use your powers to rescue people and stop criminals around KL city, your activities inadvertently cause millions of dollars in property damage due to your playful and skeptical attitude.

Synopsis  B

YOU come from a poor family, and spends most of your time dreaming. On one such occasion, you run into a bookshop where the old proprietor reveals an ancient story-book to you. Shortly after, you open up the book and begin reading it; you drawn into the mythical land of Fantasia

Synopsis C

When your country is invaded and your families are taken, YOU and your other teenagers friends band together to fight.

And so, based on all the synopsis, I chose to do B.

Fantasy is more like my kinda thing :)

And Mr.Adam said you can either take your own picture (the poster must have our face) in the photo studio, or illustrate yourself (which was limitless).

And I did take a picture last year, for my Superhero in Creative Thinking class in FID.

Did consider using it, but I changed my mind in the end.

So I went and look for inspirations for my illustration instead.

And I thought of doing a light and dark kind-of-concept.

And this time, I've decided to NOT be ambitious, so I'm going for the anime colouring style.
Which is why I decided to make it an anime poster.

Sketches

This wasn't really a light and dark concept.
The image just popped up in my head,
and I thought I'd draw it down in case I could work out on it later.

Was trying to show the light and dark through the eyes, and the "magical" book

Mr.Adam said it doesn't really look like a movie poster, so he suggested me to do a mirror image, which shows the light and dark characters.

*and he said not to take the mirror idea coz it'd be his idea instead

So I worked on that direction, and I came up with this final sketch.
