Final artwork & product range

After finally finishing both RoboCop & Predator poster designs, i found myself with two major issues;

1: I still had another design to do, that was only in the early stages of development.

2: I had totally lost my focus on what this module is all about; Applied Illustration, and had failed to look into a suitable range of product to mock-up with movie poster imagery.

Knowing full-well how long producing another poster design to full vector completion would take i've had to accept failure on the 3 poster design brief, as i've somehow managed to run out of time to execute them all to a good standard. As not to spend the remainder of my time before submission trying to get The Lost Boys poster finished (which i may not have even succeeded in) and in turn run out of time to produce the series of mockups, and put together the A2 boards and project report, I decided not to half-arse it, and to focus my time on producing a quality set of images for the designs i have managed to complete. It's really ,really frustrating that I've let this happen,as producing 3 poster designs shouldn't be such a major task - especially posters of films that i chose myself! Yet again my indecisiveness has stalled my output, and ultimately effected my final submission. 

ROBOCOP •  30th Anniversary Merch range

Even though i maybe a design short, i haven't simply gone for the easy option with the mock-ups & stuck the rectangular image onto every object under the sun - I've generated new imagery by pulling various elements and layers from my PSD artwork files and created packaging and branding  for accompanying products including records sleeves, paper bags and swing tags.I also went back and made 2 other colour variants of the poster design.

PREDATOR • 30TH ANNIVERSARY Merch range

As with the Robocop merch range, i have taken elements from the original artwork and re-worked them to create branded packaging. The ltd edition vinyl design is one I'm pretty happy with, and wish it was a real product! Pressing the soundtrack onto a coloured record is also the sort of thing that makes special edition items more collectable. In this case i made the vinyl 'glow in the dark' - a reference to the Predator's blood, which is florescent green. Again, i went back in and made 2 more colour variants of the poster, should anyone not fancy the green version.

Looking back a the start of the project, i had intended it to be based on 'Object and Environment' - but as i come to the end of the module, my final solutions are leaning 
more to the 'Product & Packging' category.
