2009 Oscar 1-sheet parodies
Every year around Oscar season my friends Jamie and Joe prepare for their annual Academy Awards party. I love to help out by designing the invitations for them. For the 2009 Oscars we decided to recreate the 1-sheets for the five films nominated for Best Picture to serve as te cover of the invitations.
This entailed a photo shoot and several hours in Photoshop, erasing parts of the original imagery, color correction of the new photography, compositing and finally typesetting and finishing.
The results were so good that they even decided to get full-sized prints made as decorations at the party.
NOTE: A little background is needed for a couple of these to make sense…
Slumdog: They live in Brentwood.
The Reader: Jamie is a Psychologist.
