Context
This work by Jared Muralt was created for a company called Mondo that makes and sells limited edition screen printed posters of classic and contemporary films, television shows and comics. To meet with this company's needs the image needs to meet key criteria so that the subject of the piece is easily recognisable.
For the brief to be met Jared Muralt needed to include key elements from the film i.e Godzilla himself, the film title, helicopters and a city in ruins.
Image
When Jared Muralt came up with the composition of this piece he chose to show Godzilla clearly which is a rare sight in the film itself. In doing so he gives his image a strong immediate impact on the viewer and makes use of iconic imagery. The simple use of colour in this image helps to highlight the key elements while his complex pen drawing maintains a perspective and detail.
The elevated viewing angle of the composition highlights the scale of Godzilla in comparison to the city and more importantly to the tiny helicopter in the centre of the picture. Something that is an enthaling element of the film.
Process
As the image was screen printed Jared Muralt had limited colours to work with. I think he made this work to his advantage by using the limited pallet he had to good effect.
