'The story of a young man who attempts to impress the hiring manager with a portfolio and a dream'
The Candidate is a mockup project to demonstrate my photographic compositing skills whilst having some fun with the process of applying for a new position.
Below, you can see the development process of this key art. I envisioned project as an uplifting, mockumentary-style series that would show the trials and tribulations of a young adult attempting to enter the workforce of the creative and entertainment industries that would be available to view on a streaming service.
The key art take cues from shows like Parks and Recreation, The Mindy Project and The Office (US) but light the 'main character' as the key focus, enveloped in a golden, hopeful light - bringing hope to what would usually be viewed as a dull, mundane setting.
