The Boy - Film Poster Genre Swap

 

Project Overview

This is a film poster that has appropriately altered an ambiguous title from the movie The Boy in 2016. With this verbal content as my starting point, I visualize the text for the original horror film poster.

Project STATEMENT

After the surrender of Nazi Germany, to accelerate the war and also to reduce the amount of loss in the Pacific Region and stop the Soviet Union from direct invasion and influence on the East Asia region, the U.S. used two nuclear bombs against Japan. Which one of them is called "the little boy". I used "the boy" as a reference and placed it in the context before the bombing on August 6th 1945 and re-contextualized The Boy into a historical film.
