It's a poster for the Japanese ride Space Fantasy, done in a style similar to classic Disney attraction posters. Everything except the basic planet shapes were drawn by hand on my graphics tablet, and I'm particularly proud of how well Princess Cosmia and the sun fairies turned out. I went through a ton of layouts and design ideas for this poster, and I'll post some early versions in a different post in the future. In the meantime, I'm glad to finally have this project done and up here where people can see it.</span><br /><div style="color: #7e7e7e; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">I've also moved this blog to <a href="http://stevesposterblog.posterous.com/">Posterous</a> since they added a Blogger import function.

I'd wanted to do something in a quirky, Japanese style already (see the quotation marks, the top-left font and "OUT" text above) and I liked the bright yellow design, something that differs quite a bit from the Western marketing. The character portraits were displayed quite prominently in Japan, so I found a way to get them into my poster too.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #2c3635; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">&nbsp;</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #2c3635; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #2c3635; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-size: 12px;">The one thing I wanted to include was a basic timeline that showed Peace Walker between MPO and MG1. I felt that the "Untold Chapter" text and the year communicated as much about that as was necessary though, and the timeline ended up cluttering the design.</span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8781058942258279749-4826804901093790689?l=stevesposterblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stephen Gibsonnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781058942258279749.post-34915525507408161812010-05-16T22:41:00.002+01:002010-05-17T23:42:18.623+01:00<a href="http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/136/0/3/Poster___Super_Mario_Galaxy_2_by_Espiox.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/300W/i/2010/136/0/3/Poster___Super_Mario_Galaxy_2_by_Espiox.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 424px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 300px;" /></a><br /><div>Wow, two in one day! This one is for my most anticipated game of the year&nbsp;(so far). What you see here is actually fairly different from my original idea, which put more focus on the constellations. I couldn't find a layout that looked right, until I eventually stumbled upon the idea of having the spaceship-planet-thing as the focus. The Cloud and Rock Mario constellations survived the change, but the other two didn't really fit; however, you can still see them if you look at the background.<br /><div><br /></div><div><i>Thanks for your helpful critique, Seth.</i></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8781058942258279749-3491552550740816181?l=stevesposterblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stephen Gibsonnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781058942258279749.post-78468876443226450212010-05-16T16:52:00.002+01:002010-05-17T23:40:51.615+01:00<a href="http://fc01.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2010/136/b/f/Poster___Green_Day__Rock_Band_by_Espiox.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://th01.deviantart.net/fs71/300W/i/2010/136/b/f/Poster___Green_Day__Rock_Band_by_Espiox.jpg" style="display: block; height: 424px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center; width: 300px;" /></a><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #2c3635; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">Here's another pre-order poster for work, though this one was made at the request of a friend. I originally went into more detail on a couple of points, like adding DLC to make a third full album and how the tracks were exportable, but I cut them in order to make the poster a bit simpler and highlight the important features. I figure the people who care about that kind of stuff will probably already know that. Or they can always ask.</span><br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #2c3635; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; color: #2c3635; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">I'll sort out a better place to put posters than deviantART soon!</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8781058942258279749-7846887644322645021?l=stevesposterblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stephen Gibsonnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8781058942258279749.post-17718957557968349162010-05-11T20:18:00.001+01:002010-05-16T16:59:27.993+01:00I'll be using this blog to post up new posters I make.<div><br /></div><div>You can check out some of my previous work at <a href="http://espiox.deviantart.com/gallery/">my deviantART gallery</a> for now.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8781058942258279749-1771895755796834916?l=stevesposterblog.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Stephen Gibsonnoreply@blogger.com0
