Maxxxine

I created this poster during my time with renowned creative agency, Poster Posse, as a Protege.

In this program, I was mentored by their founders, critiqued by their artists, and connected with their other proteges. As a Poster Posse Protege, I had the opportunity to add to their #Hate2Wait project which entailed a poster for an unreleased movie I was excited for. For me, this was the third installment of the X series, Maxxxine.

I was incredibly interested in the connection between Maxine and Pearl from the previous films. They not only shared the same ruthless hunger for stardom, but also the same actress. To parallel this similarity, I referenced my poster for Pearl and captured a similar hypnotized look in Maxine’s eyes followed by her iconic crazed smile. However, in Maxine’s case, I wanted to capture the glamour of Hollywood to reflect Pearl’s potential of what she could’ve been if she didn’t spiral down her murderous path. The flashing lights further work to conceal Maxine’s past that continues to haunt her as she fights to escape the same fate as Pearl and instead reach fame and fortune.
