When I read about NewWaveProject's Design-a-Movie-Poster contest I wanted to join. It took me a while to decide what movie to make a poster for. Then I remembered when I saw the poster for the Wallace and Gromit feature-length film, The Curse of the WereRabbit at the theater and totally spazzed out. I've been a fan of Wallace and Gromit since I saw the 3 short films during high school. Something about the claymation just draws me in - it's got a cute, goofy quality that no other animation technique can really mimic. Yet the Wallace and Gromit stories are well-plotted, with an amusing set of characters and an attention to detail that just astounds me to think that the movies are all stop-motion animation -- having a high-speed train chase, or a rocket blasting off to the moon, or a motorbike pursuit is just mind-blowing.
Anyways, I blended two ideas from the Wallace and Gromit movie site - one was the movie poster I saw ("Master. Mind.") and the other was a campy, 70's comic book image from the site's wallpaper section. I redrew the movie poster "Master. Mind." to give it a toonish, campy quality and placed the looming shadow of the Wererabbit, redrawn from the other wallpaper, in the background. Lots of fun with color halftones and text. "It's coming..." felt like an appropriate tagline, especially after I altered Wallace and Gromit's glances to be looking over their shoulder at the odd shadow behind them.
I hope you enjoy this! I really had fun making it.

    I firstly saw this at the offsite gallery,when I saw it there I came back to say a thing or two.
    It is a very original one I must say, even the print patterns are all over the poster, under print patterns I mean those spots which are usually caused by a printer. I like those print patterns.
    Guess thats all.
    Oh wait, I like the poster overall too and gonna give it a Favorite because of the stuff I wrote in the beginning.
