Designing an alternative movie poster of the main character “Mulan" from the Walt Disney Pictures live-action adaptation of the animated film of the same name. The young hero is played by Liu Yifei. I wanted to create a minimal dramatic illustration that would capture the steely eye commitment of the young Mulan.
Approach
Used two vector digital programs, the first Adobe Fresco and finished the illustration in Adobe Illustrator. I used a limited color palette of three colors plus black along with a minimal high contrast design to create a dramatic image
Results
The use of negative space, along with the illusion of dramatic lighting conveyed the power and drama that is central to the movie’s success. I am happy with this simple but stimulating poster.
