Band of Brothers
(Mini-series poster comp)
The 10 episode Emmy winning World War II mini-series BAND OF BROTHERS tells the story of the men of Easy Company in the US Army Airbourne Paratroopers.
For early concepts, we relied on actual photographs from the World War II era. Since on-set unit photography was unavailable in early stages of the design process, stock and vintage photography was used. This allows the client to see early yet polished poster concepts.
For this poster comp, I emphasized the "grunts on the ground" silhouettes of Army soldiers as a storm is moving in, with a single soldier pointing the way.
This initial round rough concept is very similar to the final artwork used for the mini-series key art.
