Amy Matthews: The Life Aquatic with Amy Matthews (2019)

The poster for Amy Matthews: The Life Aquatic with Amy Matthews

Amy has always been a huge fan of Daniel's illustrations, and wanted to incorporate them into her poster in some way. Amy asked Daniel to illustrate the ocean on a floating block that acted as a sort of podium for her head and shoulders. Kit was informed of this concept and photographed the portrait perfectly to work with Dan's illustration concept and Amy's vision. Kit then masterfully brought these all together for the final composition.
Amy knew she wanted this image, with the lifesaving ring between her teeth and her coming out of an illustrated sea, and between the three of them, have created a dynamic, memorable image that perfectly captures the whimsical and slightly zany vibe that Amy wanted for her poster.
