[La Paix]

Sorry to not contribute right away but I'm in the process of learning how to do them right. Really hoping somebody like @Masato Toys can lend some advice and post his to get this rollin.

Great idea for a thread! Making posters is a fun but tricky business

I have never tried to make a really legit one, but have made a few joke-posters enough to learn respect for a really well-executed design.

The old PRIDE posters used to be so creative, its really weird IMO that the UFC posters are so bland/generic

Here's some of the few I've played with:

Here's a few more functional ones I've done for others...

It gets really hard the more information that needs to be included... difficult to not make it look cluttered and still pleasurable to look at/easy to read the key info

This one I think worked but looks too much like some kind of gay porn expo, lol:

Here's a movie poster I made for a movie that I don't know if it ever got made:

I do these in Photoshop, but apparently this is stupid and they should be done with InDesign

Good work @Masato Toys those are nice! Doesn't matter of they're serious or not its the same amount of time if you want it to look good. Using PS is all I'm looking to get good at as its a hobby at the moment. You got any good links to YouTube or sites that could walk me through some? I've seen some but there's lots of ones thats just a guy doing it with no tutorial part or it a guy just blabbing way too much.

The first two you posted are awesome obviously bit I also like the Josh Hill one. Looks pro.

 

[Masato Toys]

what do you mean by 'bit'?

Think that was a typo for "but". I absolutely love the one of Silva getting wrapped in a blunt. Wish UFC would put more effort into their poster designs. They're so damn plain.

Yeah but joke posters don't HAVE to look that good, lol

I make them at low-resolution (internet only), and I don't really fuss if things aren't perfect. If the edges aren't crisp, or shit is pixellated etc its no problem just mock it up and get it done, its just for lulz. Not open to the same level of scrutiny

A real poster is at a MUCH higher resolution which means every step is way slowed down. Takes longer to look for source images, and everything has to look really crisp. I'd say a real finished poster intended for print will take 10-20 times longer than an online parody

Ya I think once I learn to make some I'll appreciate what your talking about much more. Right now if I could figure out how to make some kne s like to above I'd ve pretty happy.

Not sure bud.

The culture of crediting artists on social media is weak. IMO we should make an effort to put the artist name whenever possible.

I agree and know get you mean but are you referring to shoops and other stuff fan made? I think you got Masato on most your stuff right?

 

[Masato Toys]

Anything really.

Its not about taking credit, its about GIVING credit. Lots of people post cool art all the time without even bothering to find out the artist.

I just think its courteous, and it would encourage more people I think to be creative and stimulate more artists
