Similar to the last assignment I did, I found this movie mashup assignment, where I have to make a movie poster for a mashup movie. Instead of choosing two movies to mash up, I chose a mixture of movies and TV shows. To be specific, I mashed up Star Wars, Star Trek, and Battlestar Galactica, all three of everyone’s favourite Star series. Together, they form StarStarStar. The poster that I made is something of a mixture between the posters for A New Hope, Star Trek:The Motion Picture, and various things from Battlestar Galactica, since that’s a show and thus doesn’t have a movie poster to take things from.

The tagline up at the top is a mixture of famous quotes from each series. “A long time ago in a galaxy far far away” from Star Wars, “To boldly go where no one has gone before” from Star Trek, and “All this has happened before, and will happen again” from Battlestar Galactica. They actually fuse together pretty well.

The transparency on the rainbow ended up a little wonky, since Paint.NET isn’t too great at making a gradual change from opaque to more transparent. I would’ve just left it fully opaque, but I wanted to put Darth Vader up in the same corner he’s in in the poster for A New Hope, so it had to be transparent enough for you to see him. Still though, it looks pretty good for what I had to work with.
