This project features a series of illustrations inspired by the films Air, Tetris, BlackBerry, and Dumb Money. Each artwork is designed to capture the core themes and emotions of these movies, focusing on the highs and lows of capitalism, innovation, and the pursuit of success. The main illustration brings together the protagonists from each film, depicted against a backdrop of money and iconic symbols that represent their stories—like the Tetris blocks, the Air Jordan shoes, and the classic BlackBerry phone.
To complement the central piece, I created additional smaller illustrations highlighting key elements from the films. These include falling Tetris blocks that form the Statue of Liberty, symbolizing the link between capitalism and freedom, and a BlackBerry casting the shadow of a desperate character—hinting at the downfall of an empire built on ambition and technology. Each image aims to convey the unique narrative of the films, allowing viewers to instantly grasp their essence even without prior knowledge of the stories.
Through these illustrations, I sought to merge visual storytelling with critical commentary on the themes of success, failure, and the impact of capitalism on individuals and society.
