The title of this piece ‘The Last Princess’ is a 2016 South Korean movie. I watchedthe movie over the summer and was moved to tears. The movie is about Korea‘s last princess.She was relocated to Japan during the colonization of Korea. She was not allowed back to herhome country until she was very old. I knew that my next project would be a poster over this film. I took inspiration from one of the movies’ original posters. The color palette for the movie poster was neutral colors. I decided with my rendition, I would pick a different color palette.I chose a cool background and added some warmth to the poster by choosing yellow and mauve.I ended up going with a neutral suit for her. Her eyes didn’t come out how I wanted them to, so I scanned the image and edited her eyes in photoshop. This poster also shows off my typography skills, the original poster had serif font, so I went with thattoo. And I also get to show my art skills as well. This piece was created with both watercolor and ink.
