This assignment challenged us to visualize our favorite book’s, album’s, or movie’s posters and/or covers as we personally imagined them to look. Using Photoshop, we were asked to re-create our favorite book, album, or movie cover/poster.
One of my favorite books turned movie is Alice Walker’s “The Color Purple”.
I decided to create a poster/book cover that incorporated this titles movie poster and book cover concept into one.
I use the gradient tool to create a background the blends the primary colors red and blue and caused a bright purple tint to appear in the middle.
I created a silhouette of the main character that is displayed in the movie poster and centered it between the title and the author’s name. I also decided to put the supporting lead actor and actress
into the background using a blend mode. The reason for incorporating the supporting lead actor and actress in the red and blue sides of the gradient background was to give an idea of the importance of their presence in the main character’s life. The purple tint that the two sides created symbolizes the message and the theme of both the book and movie.
