One of our first ideas was to show the two sides of the ego standing back to back.
So, this and this...
became this:
and then this:
and then this...
and that. (personally, I really dislike the last one there, eugh)
And then I had this idea...
I thought this idea was good for 'teasing' the audience with the character identity. This would be useful if I was having a major star play the character, as it might keep the audience guessing who it was who was being signed for the movie...
And this just lead onto this:
as an idea for a nice and simple promo poster, but I decided that ultimately it was too weak really. Despite that, I do like the monochrome two-tone feeling of it. Black and white also suggest light and dark, or good versus evil, perhaps?
Idea number 2 was a bit more simple, and I put a lot less thinking into it, but....
Started off with the idea of the character looking at himself in the mirror, but it being a different reflection looking back at him. I think this might have been a bit ambitious (especially with my photo editing skills), but we managed to come up with this:
and then with soem cropping and fiddling I made this:
and then turned it monochrome, just to see if that made it any better...
And, in my opinion, it didn't. And so, the idea was abandoned.
Something else I made and didn't get anywhere with...
I do quite like this, but I can't see how it would fit in anywhere well. Sighh.
