The concept for this project was to interpret the the duality of the setting for the game, Rapture, into a movie poster. I took the art deco style used through the game and combined it with a minimalistic art style. I used bright, contrasting gradients to show the ideals and promises of positivity the city of Rapture told while also transition in the gritiness and darker realities of what it became.

 

I took a well know quote from the game to allude how grande of an idea of a city under that sea while foreshadowing the event that set the story in motion. Other simple thing I side where used bright highlights to show that the city is still alive with inhabitants even thought it has seen better days. THe city being upside down to represent its place underwater and that the world within is not right. While the golden gradients show that grandure that it was meant to be.

A simple complementary poster for the main one. This concept being taken from the begining events of the game from the players perspective. This was the first time the player was introduced to the main sci-fi element of the game, genetic mutation along with a dose of trust issues.

This concept was taken from one of the main driving factors that created Rapture into what it was. This device shown would inject a formula called Eve which allowed a person to genetically modify their body however they wanted. This miracle came a cost, too much "splicing" and one would become disfigured, addicted, and driven mad. A comparison would be how in past culture how we knew little about harmful drugs today such as morphine.

 

Eve became the life force of Rapture, everyone wanted, everyone needed it.

This image allude to that various voices of one of the main element of the game. Beings called little sisters would collect Adam, a genetic fluid, to recyle it. The best way to collect Adam was to take it from dead bodies. Her companion and protector was seen as Big Daddys and kicknamed "Mr.Bubbles". The Little sisters were so drugged up that they same these dead bodies as angels and other positive figures.

 

The mask are what the Splicers, those who used too much Eve and became mad, wore because they became ashamed of their disfigured faces and wanted to hid away from them.
