Objective

Create a dramatic movie poster in the style of the famous graphic designer, Drew Struzan.

Choose Your Story & Cast
The story can be any book, tv show, movie, or video game. Genderbending is allowed while casting, but do your best to find lookalikes.

Have your models keep a neutral expression as they look into the camera and off to the side so you can choose later.

Pose them so you have several options and shoot both eye-level and below.

Take 30+ photos for each model.

Open your best image of each model in Photoshop. Carefully clean up blemishes and color correct. Dodge and burn.

In a 24×36 inch document, arrange in a radial composition and add colors to the background before using generative fill to convert it into a Drew Struzan style poster. Edit and try different iterations until you like the result.

Photoshop: click on File > Export > Export As and select the JPG format.

Upload your final photo into a gallery block on your WordPress.com website.
