Graphics Assignment: A Clockwork Orange Movie Poster


There are a number of themes that I incorporated into the movie poster. The main theme I focused on was violence. I illustrated this by the bold colors and how they clash with one another looking as if they are fighting for the viewers attention. In other words I call this, "violent colors". This is symbolic of the main character Alex Burgess in the film "A Clockwork Orange". He is a teenager who is different and leads a far from typical life. He is constantly at war with himself especially at the end of the film after his experimental science test where he still wants to commit vulgar activities but every time he even remotely thinks about it he gets a deathly sick feeling in the bottom of his stomach forcing him to restrain. It also has elements that are based on the time era which was in the early 1970s which at that time the Hippie era in the mid '60s was loosing it's influence. This can be seen in the font of the text.
