University project for Little White Lies competition.
Aim - To portray actress Natalie Portman as the black swan. Final piece shows actress mastering both the black swan and the white swan. Idea was to put across the elegance of both sides while still portraying the innocence of the actress, thus her only having one set of wings, beak and one crown. though she has two faces this shows she is one in the same. Final piece was simplified to show the contrast between the two. Background style and colours were inspired from the final performance on stage in the movie. Typeface composition and font inspired by opening credits in the movie.
