If memory serves me right, this is a poster I have been tinkering around for a while- just for fun.
This mock-movie poster was created in Painter 6. I wanted to play around with
design and compose something different than my `usual' work. Using terrible quality reference, I had
to make up a lot of the details in the faces from watching the show; I hope I did the chefs justice.
This is a massive picture that is reduced down to 1/6th its size.
The above poster is based on a Japanese television show that pits tops quality chefs against
one of 4 Iron Chefs.
These chefs are incredibly talented and improvizational; having to create 4-6 dishes in one hour, based mainly on one themed ingredient- which varies from the common, to the expensive, to the bizarre. I heard that being an Iron Chef means you are under a lot of pressure. Japan watches Iron Chef like a sports event and why not, it's the superbowl of cooking shows.
