Wick Is Pain Poster

Reposting since it was removed cuz I didn’t add enough context for this.

This was the one of the official digital posters released for the film called Wick is Pain which is a film about the Wick movies.

I chose to go graphic/retro with the style because this idea lended itself more to that especially with the old film strip. Also in the movie industry today, not as many of these style posters are done compared to back in the day so want to take the opportunity to do one.

I saw some people mentioned the aspect ratio of the film is very very vertical which tbh I didn’t really think about when doing it. I just adjusted the size of cels because it let me show more art which for posters is very important to maximize how much u can tastefully show the cast as big as possible while still letting the design breathe. While it may not technically be the correct dimensions of an actual film strip, the benefit of allowing me to show the kick scene uncropped was very much worth it. Sometimes we can’t let little technicalities get in the way of a design especially if they are within the realm of disbelief which in this case, messing with the aspect ration was very much that in my opinion.

I chose to put the cameraman in the bottom because it helps convey this is more than just a poster for a John wick movie and was a documentary. This was very important because we don’t want the poster to be confusing. That reason for me trumped any others to not put him there so that’s why he is placed there.

Always happy answer any questions as well if I didn’t explain something you were wondering about.




Hey everyone.

Posting here a poster I made recently for the documentary of the John wick franchise.

I personally love making posters for a living and to anyone reading this that’s looking for maybe a fresh start in design or a change of pace here’s the website where. You can find all the places that do the posters.

Always happy to answer any questions too!
