A winner was selected from 97 designs submitted by 25 freelance designers.
HALCYON
Halcyon Int'l is a worldwide licensor of independent feature films - with a special focus on sic-fi and fantasy.
A new poster/one sheet for a completed feature entitled, ANGRY PLANET. Set in the distant future, a man, wrongfully convicted of murder, returns to the prison planet where he was an inmate to seek retribution and extract revenge.
The design approach for the new artwork should be modern and say, “sci-fi”. The new artwork must have the professional, polished look and feel of a studio motion picture. There should be a strong emphasis on the title font, color and placement. There is no need to include the credit block.
A temp/concept version of the artwork has been uploaded to an FTP folder http://halcyonpix.net/99designcontest
The title treatment needs a complete overhaul in font selection, size, placement and execution.
Still images have also been upload of the tortured man and of space.
The image of the tortured man should be worked to look like the Undead – sallow skin, zombie eyes, bloodied mouth.
Another concept approach would be an image of an android/cyborg-esque soldier off center with a harsh terrain and planets in the bg. Similar in color and feel to DEADSPACE 3.
Other design concepts/ approaches are welcomed and encouraged. There are examples of other studio posters with polish and the right tonal quality can be downloaded from the FTP folder.
