Brazilian Graphic designer André Luis Santos "Studio Ghibli Movie Posters" showcases the beautiful and remarkable movie of the Studio Ghibli. Studio Ghibli, Inc. is a Japanese animation film studio based in Koganei, Tokyo, Japan. The studio is best known for its anime feature films, and has also produced several short films, television commercials, and one television film. It was founded in June 1985 after the success of Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind (1984), with funding by Tokuma Shoten.

The project consist in a series of posters of the movie “Studio Ghibil - Princess Mononoke, Spirited away, Howl’s moving castle of Hayao Miyazaki. Basically I’ve tried to create arts using elements and characters of each movie. Using a specific technique of digital painting, brushes and textures I’ve tested loads of different colors and overlays to get the final result.

The project is a mix of personal testy and references. Since I was a child I used to watch movies like Hayao Miyazaki, so I tried to use it in some way to create a graphic project. That’s why I used poster for this project, that’s the kind of media that they use to disclose movies even nowadays.

The Japanese Culture is the main inspiration for this project. As soon I become a graphic designer I try to use my personal tasty and references in every project I do, being for a brand or a personal project.

Oddly enough, I don’t event have any kind of painting style or technique itself. I always find a new way to create an art, It’s a process to get to the final result, I just try loads of technique until I find the one that fits to the project. Tools of Illustrator and Photoshop make it possible.

The advise that I could give is to try to see the world around, it’s a HUGE visual reference, since the nature with different colors and forms to art exhibitions, museums. It’s also necessary have a look about the creative process of another artists, designers, musicians, poems or a just good conversation with a friend, it’s all components for a good creative process.
