POSTER 3

​

This poster depicts the Hiroshima bombing at the end of world war 2. The poster was made in a 4 by 3 format. The first 4 scene are peaceful as the streets and symbolic buildings of Hiroshima were shown and the crow lands on a branch. The next 4 scene are tension building as the crow spots a B-29 flying over. The last 4 scene depicted the bombing and the effect of the fat man bomb had on Hiroshima. The poster was mainly hand drawn using pen and  placed in a 4 by 3 format I made quickly using Miro, the finally edit was made using Krita. The poster was made with the theme of death which is same as poster 2, but as I do not want to explore the same thing again I took inspiration by where this Haiku cam from, Japan. The only 2 major event related to death I can think of are the Sengoku era where warlords fight over each other to gain power and the end of world war 2 where America dropped 2 nuclear bomb on Japan in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I like the nuclear cloud in the poster as the crow was turned into skeleton without it noticing, I also like how the ruin look, I used a charcoal pencil to give it a charred effect; I do not like how the dome turned out, in black and white I find it hard to make it look very grand; I also do not quite like how the shadow caused by the nuclear bomb were depicted, in reality they look more charred and less shadow like. Overall, I think the depiction of death is quite clear in this poster.
