Blog #038 - Red Dead Poster, Portal 2, Monkey Island

What do all these games have in common? Nothing! Nothing I had in mind anyway, except I'm going to write about them in this blog.
Red Dead Redemption
I may be a year late, but I was thinking about Red Dead Redemption and I have 2 designs to do today for my daily design blog. Looking at vintage movie posters (mainly mean streets and the birds) I wanted to make a movie poster for the game. Initially I thought of doing it in the style of a western poster but that has already been done, so I didn't go with the obvious choice.
Personally? I had a lot of great ideas about the smoke forming mexico, the wedding ring being on the gun.... but I didn't combine them efectively enough. There's too much text and too much dead weight around in the composition.
Here it is. Leave comments and feedback, I love to read them.

Love the game.
Portal 2
Really enjoyed the section with the old test chambers and most of all, Cave Johnson.
I made a portal 2 poster during the wait which you can check out here.
I also just made this. A poster in the style of the safety posters during the 50s section of Portal 2.

I might do an illustration of Morgan soon. She has an impossibly thin waist.
