Graphic design coursework. The brief was to design a film poster for a film festival taking place at a local university. We could choose any of the 5 films being shown. I chose the film Control.

This is one of my preliminary sketches to work out the final design of the poster. It's taken from a screenshot showing Sam Riley portraying Ian Curtis at the mic. The angel wing was inspired by the street artist, Eelus.

It's done in gouache paints and this was my first time ever using that medium. The outline of the silhoutte was traced from a printout of the screenshot and the angel wing was added on afterwards. All detail in the wing and the shading was all done by freehand. I'm very pleased with how it came out, particularly the texture in the wing.

Gouache on paper.
