Cultural Posters - Hacksaw Ridge

About This Project

This project was made in the context of a branding class with the objective of re-imagining a poster of a film of choice. My choice was Hacksaw Ridge, by Mel Gibson, and we were given creative freedom to re-imagine the poster with any methodology i wanted. I decided to challange myself and do something I wasn't comfortable with and went with illustration.

Hacksaw Ridge is a 2016 biographical war film directed by Mel Gibson and written by Andrew Knight and Robert Schenkkan, based on the 2004 documentary The Conscientious Objector directed by Terry Benedict.

The film focuses on the World War II experiences of Desmond Doss, an American pacifist combat medic who, as a Seventh-day Adventist Christian, refused to carry or use a weapon or firearm of any kind.
