Dazed and Confused // 20+20

So this is the final for my illustrated poster. I originally wanted them as a series of A3 posters, but that was before my tutor reminded me it had to be one poster on A3. So after some thinking and playing around with composition etc. I came up with this. I'd still rather it be a series, with maybe one or two more portraits.. but eh. If I were to ever exhibit them, that's how I'd do it.

D&AD//Little White Lies magazine - Black Swan

Today I made a start on the illustration brief for the D&AD student awards. The brief is for Little White Lies magazine; a bi-monthly independent movie magazine.

'Create an original cover illustration for Little White Lies magazine, depicting the main character of one of our five favourite films of 2011' 

The movies to choose from are: Drive, Black Swan, The Tree of Life, Super 8, and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.

As you can see, I've chosen to illustrate Nina (Natalie Portman) from Black Swan. I have loads of ideas for this, can't wait to show everyone the finished piece!
