For my creative thesis project, I will be creating digital pieces of art including (but not limited to) movie posters, social media posts, digital designs available on various products (stickers, sweatshirts, mugs, etc.), and prints, all revolving around films in the ‘Good For Her’ subgenre of horror/thriller. I have chosen the following six films to focus on:
- Midsommar (2019)
- Gone Girl (2014)
- Ready Or Not (2019)
- Us (2019)
- Promising Young Woman (2020)
- Hush (2016)
I know I want to create one reimagined movie poster for each film, but I’m not sure how many other forms of digital drawings I want to create for each film. Below is a list of potential concepts for the pieces I plan on doing. Please note that I am considering all of my artwork in progress until they are printed, though some are nearly done already. Also, this is not an exhaustive list!
