Utilizing Photoshop, a composite will need to be created using various art elements and blending together to create an engaging poster that will introduce the audience to the many characters and story elements of the film.
I wanted to create a poster that was beautiful and exemplified the dark fantasy elements of the film. It was important to create a sense of depth and ancient lore. To achieve this, a background was first designed to have the style of an ancient manuscript and bordered by a landscape view of the land of Thra and the Skeksis' castle, the final destination of the story's journey.
Background and figures combine to create a layered composite full of mysterious symbols, figures in action, and a message from the opening of the film that introduces us to the Hero's Journey, "Another world, Another time…In the Age of Wonder." Movie credits were meticulously typed and copied from the original theatrical depute. Alternate versions featured a CTA to view on Netflix.
Designed with both Photoshop and Figma, a prototype homepage was designed to compliment the new poster. This site entices the audience to explore lore and history of the world of The Dark Crystal and with a scrolling video feature to introduce us to trailers, inside scenes and other productions like the Age of Resistance series.

A quick exploration into apparel application. The possibilities of various apparel, merchandise, and stickers featuring the design are endless.
We now have a refreshed and updated poster expanded into web and mobile. The Dark Crystal is ready to take on a new generation of audiences and fans.
