Indiana Jones: Minimalist Key Art

For this Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark key art, I took a minimalist approach to capture the essence of one of cinema’s most iconic scenes. The composition uses the hero’s bullwhip, coiled in concentric circles, to subtly evoke the cave setting and frame the looming boulder he’s fleeing. This interplay between negative space and shape creates motion and tension while keeping the design clean and graphic. I initially worked within Paramount's signature blue palette but ultimately opted for a rich, earthy brown—a nod to the franchise’s rugged, adventurous tone. Unfortunately for this artwork, approvals were reached just days before the franchise was removed from Paramount’s streaming service and while it was never officially released, the design remains a loving homage to Indy’s timeless legacy.
