One of the movie posters I took inspiration from was this teaser for the...
REVENGE OF THE JEDI? Yes, at this early date, they didn't have the title fully finalized. The one thing they are sure of is that slapping Darth Vader on everything=profit. And why not? Everything about him, the voice, the movements, the costume, was designed to be as intimidating as possible. The composition of this poster is also meant to enhance his stature and presence as a force to be reckoned with. His helmet dominates the frame, a malevolent red aura representing his anger and hate. The not-quite profile we see him in gives him an appearance of focusing on something outside our field of view, of being an active, masculine figure without any actual movement taking place. On his shoulder we get a vision of combat between him and his son, lightsaber colors reversed (?) as even this desperate battle for dominance is subsumed by his overwhelming presence.
