Problem to Solve: Wes Anderson fans expect his movies and the materials involving them to have a certain handcrafted look and feel. Design a Poster that appeals to the audience and fanbase of the movie The Life Aquatic.

Solution: To achieve the handcrafted look of Wes Anderson’s visual stylings I chose to create this poster out of papercraft. For the composition I decided to make the main character Steve Zissou’s face out of marine life, the movie is a character study of him so I felt it was only appropriate to visually deconstruct his face as well.

Research: I had not seen the movie beforehand, so I had to watch it and acquaint myself with the visual style and story. I also researched other posters that had been made for the movie to find a niche for myself that stayed true to the tone of the movie.
