OUGD503 film society poster

Idea generation

After looking at japanese movie culture and the art history of the period i've begun to sketch up some ideas, one of the first designs i liked was having a character on the poster holding 7 swords to showcase the cast of the film. another was to have the image of the main samurai Toshirô Mifune shown within the reflection of the seven swords across the poster. One aspect from the film that I liked the idea of working with was the flag the seven samurai use within the movie which was made up of 6 circles and a triangle. this design would be something that people who have seen the film would have people who have seen the film know what it was about.
