Creative Mondays 102 – Gravity Poster

“What is Creative Mondays?

Monday’s are always a drag. The start of a new week, you have to go back to that routine of going to bed early/get up early. If (like me) you have to commute then you prepare for that long journey into work and that long journey back for the first time after a nice two day break.

So to kick off those lousy Mondays, I’m going to get my creative mind flowing in a positive way. Creative Mondays. A chance for me to show off something unfinished or finished that I’ve been working on throughout the previous week.”

This year there’s been a lot more science fiction films out there. I’d have to say most of them didn’t live up to expectations. Thankfully once in a while one comes along that nails the genre and this time it’s Gravity. Alfonso Cuaron’s tense “hold your breath” space thriller is something to behold (especially on the big screen).

After seeing the film and a great deal of fan-made posters I decided to put together a concept for a film poster focusing on distance/loneliness while trying to play down the use of an astronaut. There’s some really great themes captured in the film and it’s not just about the peril of being lost in space.
