Still Mad

The school is still getting on my nerves, but you know I don't wanna talk about that right now. Something that is on my mind is a Movie poster that I have to design. The concept is to make up a movie or revise a past movie poster that makes it look realistic. So being myself I pick a movie that I like and I generally like movies with some sort of dancing in them. The movie that I picked is "Stomp the Yard" which is pretty much this :

"When DJ (Columbus Short), a troubled youth from Los Angeles, moves to Atlanta to attend Truth University, he discovers "stepping," the age-old style of dance traditionally done in black fraternities, where teams demonstrate complex moves and create rhythmic sounds by using their bodies. DJ's raw talent and hip-hop inspired moves quickly place him at the center of a fierce rivalry between two fraternities, the winner of which will be determined in front of a sold-out arena at the annual stepping championships. But before he can help his teammates, he must battle his own demons and learn the true meaning of brotherhood.
A compelling drama about the quest for individuality and the power of fraternity, Stomp the Yard features some of the most original and exhilarating
dance performances ever filmed. Starring Columbus Short (Save the Last Dance 2, Accepted) and Meagan Good (Waist Deep, Roll Bounce), Stomp the Yard is directed by award-winning music video
and commercial director Sylvain White (I'll Always Know What You Did Last Summer), who brings his innovative visual style and explosive energy to the production."


Ok so u know stepping is all about brotherhood, stomping in bouts to hear the sound, fraternities, competitions, and stuff like that. So my idea is to have two boots on the cover but two different colors and have them representing the feuding frats, and to have like a brick wal background showing the roughness. I also thought to make it look like the names of fraternities were sketched into the bricks. To me that was a good idea because I wanted to show a different kind of culture. Im not trying to pull the race card but if you don't understand the concept of stomping the yard, which does involve schools, then you can't really guide me on how this poster should look. So i am going to try a different way with this, but I am still going to represent. Kinda had to get that off my chest.

BTW i wanted to redo this poster because the regular poster is good butit doesnt show what the movie is about.
