BLOODBORNE, SEKIRO, ELDEN RING

The worlds of FromSoftware’s games are an amzing mix of sheer brutality and calm beauty. This is the feeling I tried to capture in my posters for three of their biggest releases, Bloodborne, Sekiro- Shadows Die Twice and Elden Ring, and how they uniquely handle these themes and ideas. 

For Bloodborne, I wanted to highlight the absolute chaos of the game and its harshness in a very graphic style with bold colors and highlight its overpowering gothic architecture and frightening deformed monsters.

For Sekiro, highlighting the calm spirituality of the game while still showing how overpowering the environment can be for the player, focusing on a rare calm moment in the game. 

Finally for Elden Ring, again I wanted to reference the sheer size of FromSoftware’s first truly open world, highlighting the environment, characters and creatures of world as our player character rests in the lower right of the image. 

POKEMON

Pokémon was the first franchise I fell in love with. So when creating the first set in this series I only had to ask myself “What would I include in a poster if it was only up to me?” 

I decided on two seperate images to reference the two games that always release simultaneously that would then combine into one larger image. Including my favorite characters and locations to not only reference the franchise’s art style but to convey the enormous sense of adventure every kid feels the first time they delve into this world. 

POSTER DESIGN

Poster design has always been my favorite medium and creative outlet. It allows me to combine everything I love including typography, illustration and graphic design to distill the most essential elements of a given subject wether it’s film, television, video games or anything else. 

Through a strategic use of hierarchy, my layouts guide viewers seamlessly, ensuring that essential information takes center stage. The balanced distribution of elements, coupled with a discerning choice of colors and typography, results in visually cohesive and impactful compositions. My commitment to simplicity ensures that the core message remains clear, while thoughtful application of contrast and repetition elevates key details. 

A carefully chosen color scheme, legible typography, and judicious incorporation of whitespace contribute to a polished and professional aesthetic. My commitment to visual consistency underscores the strength of my design identity, making my posters not only visually arresting but also effective communicators of the intended message.

And most importantly- it’s a lot fun!
