‘God Help the Girl’ poster design WIP part 3.

God Help the Girl director Stuart Murdoch is the lead singer/songwriter of indie band Belle & Sebastian. In keeping with the bands bold two-tone album cover art I went for a minimal but more exciting full colour painting approach which should appease their fans with a single background colour to accompany each of the actor illustrations. The idea was if the illustration has a high saturation value then the background colour would be low saturation and vice versa. I later came across the Albers approach to colour studies which lead to finding the largest area of a hue from the actor illustration and producing a different colour within the same family for the background. I also attempted to combine these ideas with complimentary colours for each illustration and split complimentary colours to cohesively bring them all together.

Shake your head

The only thing I regret is being myself That senseless scent of self. A familiar smell to the nose It lingers, it comes and goes. Shaking my head with regret A mind to a devil's pet, Trained for breaking heads. You can't run away from yourself I did something... My soul knows it doesn't belong My regret confirms it to be wrong. Face reality with change And embrace the pain Pick up what remains And start over again. So go ahead, Shake your head in regret A mind to a devil's pet. Go ahead
