The Last Ronin - Concept Movie Poster & Marketing Campaign Exploration

A cinematic poster and marketing campaign exploration inspired by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin.

This project reimagines The Last Ronin as a live-action theatrical release, focusing on mood, symbolism, and franchise-level presentation. The goal was to create a premium key art system that could scale across film marketing touchpoints - theatrical posters, billboards, digital platforms, streaming UI, and physical collector packaging.

The design emphasizes isolation, legacy, and finality through restrained color, texture-driven typography, and a lone silhouette composition. Each execution explores how a single core visual can adapt seamlessly across real-world environments while maintaining impact and brand consistency.

Personal concept project. Not affiliated with Nickelodeon, Paramount, or TMNT.
