[Poster for a fictional movie]Vortex a.k.a. John Carpenter's Vortex (1988)Directed by John CarpenterOne of the items on my creative TODO list was to make a poster inspired by the John Carpenter music track, "Vortex", from the album "Lost Themes". I like the films of John Carpenter a lot (there are several classics he has made, from the late 1970s to the 1990s). He is one director who has also composed the music for almost all of his movies, and it has a distinctive electronic style. A few years ago, he released two music albums, titled "Lost Themes" and "Lost Themes II", with tracks that sound like they are directly taken from movies he has directed. One of my favourite tracks from the first album is "Vortex". I had the idea to make a poster based on this for a long time, but didn't get around to doing it. Recently, @robertsammelin had made a few posters for a non-existent movie, and that inspired me to pick up this idea again.So here's the poster for "John Carpenter's Vortex", envisioned as being made in 1988 (in between "Prince of Darkness" and "They Live"). It's a horror movie set in the desert, with an ancient evil manifesting itself as duststorms. Kurt Russell and Donald Pleasence star in the film. Like an earlier poster design that I did, I tried to make the credits authentic for the time.The drawing was done with multi-colour ballpoint pen and Gelly Roll pen on A5 sketchbook and scanned. The poster was done in Photoshop, the font used for the titles is ITC Serif Gothic Black (same font used in the @robertsammelin posters and the album art for "Lost Themes"). The credits are in Univers Light Ultra Condensed.I made a variant of the poster with a paper texture, and you can swipe to see the artwork by itself as well.#dailymoviesketch #karthikabhiram@karthikabhiram@ampposters #ampposters #ballpointpen #ballpointpenart #ballpointpendrawing@johncarpenterofficial#540 / 27-Jun-20
