An odd request from Darkstar, but a request nonetheless: I have brought together my collection of posters from both here and ERE to showcase some of my skills and just to give everyone a laugh at how bad some of this stuff used to be.
This is my ERE poster for Survivor Series '04. It was the first one I did, and was terrible. I can't even begin to describe how bad this is. However, it's here because I'm proud of how much I've progressed since then.

My Armageddon poster is a huge improvement. The idea came from the RAW logo (which is what the picture of Shawn is enclosed in. I don't often like simple, and everything ends up as too clustered. But it was a start.

Whilst not a PPV, this is probably my last good poster in ERE after experimenting with fades and blurs. The text does most of the talking for once, and it works nicely with the four champions at the time up top.

My first poster for TWO was the King Of The Ring poster, with a silhouette of AJ Styles atop a ladder to represent the winner having ascended a proverbial ladder to become KOTR. My initial idea was for a steel chair as a throne, but the silhouette idea was too hot to turn down.

When TWO and ERE did the combined PPV, I used colours to depict the opposing sides, and again used the blending dealie effect. It worked well, although my logo was scarily simple, and my least favourite yet.

One of my most daring posters, this had a close up on Rhino with AJ at the side to promote Draven Cage vs Evil Gringo. The logo is custom made, and Rhino even has Union Jack contact lenses.

My latest poster looks messed up... and that's the idea. It took a good hour to make, but is meant to depict a somewhat crazed ghost train ride through your mind. The use of Heidenreich is ace (IMO) and only enhances it. The text is great too, something I always have troubles with.

And without doubt my best poster to date, done only a few weeks ago, this is the most simple yet time-consuming and effective piece I've done for any graphic. The blur was a last minute decision between the wrestler and sand, as was the choice to have a clear sky. Definately the most professional looking.

Post-October 2005
A relatively simply but effective poster, this uses Shelton Benjamin as the centre-piece with the logo, matching text, and so forth. Nothing special from the technical standpoint except for the chest tattoo which was easy to do. Didn't take long, but gets the job done, and is no worse than the WWE's poster attempt at their same name PPV.
