A Gun For Hire

Written on the 27th of November, 2022

Agent 47 is such a fascinating character! He's a genetically engineered assassin, and while I've never played the video game, I absolutely loved Timothy Olyphant's portrayal in the 2007 movie. Inspired by that, my friend Ali AlKhayat and I thought it would be fun to create our own version of the movie poster, but much darker and more contrasty.

We did not have the exact colours of Agent 47 suit, so I had to change the colours digitally via Adobe Photoshop to get a monochromatic look of red and black.

I added a spotlight behind his face to draw the viewer's attention to make it even more eye-catching. I then changed its colour digitally to achieve the look I imagined.
