Air Force One
(One-sheet poster comp)
The movie details the hijacking of the presidential
jet, AIR
FORCE ONE, with the commander-in-chief aboard, all while he evades terrorists to save his
family.
The client wanted an image that implied action, yet
looked "presidential". They also wanted to
avoid the airline disaster look, similar to other
films at the time like TURBULENCE.
I played off the standard Harrison
Ford "flag waving Jack
Ryan" look by actually merging him into the
flag, and throwing the colors off kilter -- giving the poster a darker feel. The
edges of the Ford image are blurred, implying action.
Mr. Ford kindly passed on this one-sheet.
I guess the shot of him that I used (as directed by
the client) didn't go over well. He was very involved
with the marketing of this movie, along with all other
aspects of the film. |
