When I was younger I use to love reading fantasy adventure books. And now I love watching supernatural TV series.
It's an American television series created and produced by Alan Ball,based on The Southern Vampire Mysteries series of novels by Charlaine Harris, detailing the co-existence of vampires and humans in Bon Temps, a fictional, small town in the state of Louisiana
So here are a few of the promotional posters and more.
So this is the first promotional poster for the series. It's been adapted to CD's, DVD covers, and for TV commercials.
I love this image as it is cropped in a very interesting way. There is a sense of mystery in the picture. The intensity of the colour even thought cold and dark has a very good impact. It almost looks like an over sharpened picture on the verge of looking like a graphic image.
The simplicity in most of these poster is what I find interesting. Text is used cleverly and the images have only one focal point and a strong background.
These are very developed and thought through promotional posters. Very strong branding for something that is imaginary.
Obviously as this is a Vampire series. There is emphasis on Blood.
Notice the optical illusion on the first poster. One can also notice the change of typography along this the seasons.
The main colours used are RED,BLACK,WHITE and shades of them.
The effect on these picture are quite interesting. Scratched paper / dripping ink/blood / tints of red,blacks,white on the images, the clothes...
Here the whole crew and a bit more.
Cut outs of images to write. This creates a mysterious feel again.
Check out the credits for True Blood. This was nominated for an Emmy. This sequence was created by Digital Kitchen, a production studio that was also responsible for creating the title sequence of Dexter, another TV series I like.
