Title: Cloud Atlas

We had an assignment at Uni to make a new poster for the movie "Cloud Atlas"
------                    There was only one restriction: To keep it abstract.                    ------

What do you think?

As a whole it looks interesting. I haven't watched the movie, so I can't really tell if it fits. Gonna try to give some words about the design and positioning though.

Did you guys also have to print it? I could imagine some of the dark geometrical figures going under in the black background.

The implied ball shape gives a direct association of a planet. It seems like you aligned it all pretty much to the geometrical middle with some noticeable cross (dashed lines + title). Vertically you probably could have aligned it to the optical middle instead. There's also some good shape-contrast of round and angular.

The red figures next to the ball should be more saturated imo to equal the red of the blur on the right side. That could possibly add more contrast and make that the actual eye-catcher instead of the bright text.

The canvas is kinda empty, but doesn't need to be filled any more. It seems about right and completed.

Websites are usually also given with either www. or simply without instead of http:// type declaration. Humans ain't browsers (yet) :ninja:

Whoa, thank you a lot for the detailed feedback Andre :)
We won't have to print it, this is a sort of a Photoshop experiment.

The whole background is amazing, the only off for me is the text, somehow it doesn't fit the thin objects from that orb; if you just could somehow connect the two, it would be genius. Don't get me wrong, i love it as all of your works mate ;)

@Squeak Now that you say it, a little bit of treatment on the text wouldn't hurt anyone.
@Beat Thank you mate :) I found kinda hard to make a representation of the movie, and still keep it abstract, so the only thing I thought of was using the "Weather Symbols for Clouds".
