my new idea is that theirs a worms a view pic of chris reeve on the poster. from the perspective of some people they are lookin up and possibly pointing at him. the background is still clouds but there might be a masked pic of marlon brando in the clouds. the txt on the poster will simply say " Larger then Life".

IS this kinda a strong idea?

Silky

No it's not. Just make sure the point is clear. Have you made a rough sketch yet?

rsjagtia

as a matter of fact i have. but the concept designs are still slopy cuz i thinkin of new a better ideas. i'll prob redo my concept stuff till it's good. any suggestions at all?

rsjagtia

so, u think i shouda gona with my first idea?

Silky

Well, you need to make sure what your point is excatly, that will decide how your poster will look.
It would be helpful to see something.

rsjagtia

well, i mainly want to show that he was a larger than life person. and ur right. that idea i had, too much stuff was happenin. i think i'll take away the people, the park and marlon brando stuff. and what i'll do is put a worms eye view pic of supe reeve and make it like there's a bunch of small buildings and stuff below. or i may just go with houses or somethin. sorry, i wish i had some concept art to show u.

here's a free concept for ya...

I know a bit about people in wheelchairs and they do dream of walking again, one day. (if they have before) At least most I know, do... So how about this idea here?

First you have him in his chair, then at some point you have him walking people staring at him almost, in amazment. And finally you have him ripping his shirt open with the S insignia showing through. Maybe you even have room to add him flying even if a smaller version somewhere in the sky...

Just my idea, I'm not great at taking the ideas and running with them though. I can't just put concept to paper or even PS as easy as some can.

Good luck! I'm looking forward to seeing the end result, no matter what it looks like.

I don't have any ideas of my own, but I can offer something else up.

(this is not an advertising for another website. It's just another PS sketching site I go to some.)

They have a daily sketch area, wih topics and people post whatever they've done, yadda yadda. One of the topics was done the day after Chris Reeves died. There was some AMAZING stuff in there. You might be able to look at some of it and get somemore ideas?

If the moderators say it's ok, I'll post a link to it.

Wasn't there a Super Bowl commercial a couple years back that had pretty much that same concept?

crud you may be right. not a football fan. but it's possible. Ib always say there's no original ideas left anymore...
