Voyager Episode Posters

[JamesRye]

Liked the one for Resolutions... looked like a romance novel cover.

Thanks Quite a few have come out looking more like book covers rather than movie posters. Live Fast and Prosper looks like a book cover too. And.....so does this one! The tag line for this one has a slightly altered line of dialog - in the actual episode, Q says "we've all done the Scarecrow". I tried using the real world road that they used in the episode - but it was too dull, so some creative license there.

For this one, I knew what I wanted to do. Fire around the bottom of the image with Voyager shooting up through it. But then, everyone remembers this for the 'boiling head' scene - so I manipulated a screenshot and went with that instead. This one is maybe a bit simple.

That one is really cool! Kind of reminds me of a pulp horror flick from the 70s. By the way, I really love that you are including the writers and directors with these. With Trek episodes being what they are they often are a little short shrifted, I think. So it's nice to see them highlighted.

Possibly my favorite Voyager episode - very well directed by David Livingstone - who keeps it fresh and exciting. Jeri Ryan re-invigorates the series. I was torn between having the image of Jeri Ryan in the background or not, normally I go with minimalism - but not this time.

This one's a bit lazy. The episode on the other hand is that rarest of Star Trek's - a Part 2 that is even better than part 1.

Dwayne Johnson has a brief cameo in one of his first TV roles. This was a bizarre crossover episode with the WWE, and amazingly, it does not suck. Anyone who thinks this is Star Trek dumbed down hasn't watched The Gamesters of Triskellion. This one is supposed to look like an old boxing poster.

Some great special effects in this one. But it's a Harry Kim in love story, and is often unintentionally quite funny. I found it amusing that crew members have to get the captain's permission before they have sex with other species. You can just imagine Janeway looking through a pile of 'permission' forms.

^ On a recent rewatch I found that episode almost unbearable. But your episode poster rocks! That was always one of my favorite views of the ship. One minor thing, though: The quotation mark at the end of the quote is missing. Plus, those are not proper quotation marks, which would be “ and ”.

Lost track of this thread a bit, really nice work.

Voyager usually has terrific production values, but this is a rare instance where the poor design of the robot really lets things down. The episode is OK, though a bit hackneyed. The poster is supposed to look like an electronic music cover. It took me ages to come up with some sort of design for this one.

Nice one! Almost looks like the robot is displayed on some sort of LED screen. How did you achieve that look? Is it some filter in Photoshop?

Personally I always rather liked the design of the robots in “Prototype”. They were crude, but definitely a unique look I hadn't seen done anywhere else.

Just a bit of photo manipulation. Removed the background from the original image, copied the image and offset it slightly. Then I used a preset filter to kind of posterize it and then toned the image to that purple and blue hue - added a bit of pixellation and noise. I use a photo editor called polarr and GIMP.

I really wish I could draw or paint nicely. My favorite posters are the Bob Peak movie posters. Great colours and great style. A hobby of mine is photography, so I plan to do some macro photography of starship models and include those in future posters. Below are some fun shots using biscuits, tea towels and old action figures - not Star Trek, but the next best thing!

One of the best episodes from a rocky first season.

I had to re-watch this one prior to making the poster, because I didn't remember it very well. What a strange episode this was, at the end especially, when Janeway basically asks the crew to duplicate themselves and then have those duplicates stranded on a barren planet. Yeah, this one doesn't make much sense. Good special effects though.

 

[Santaman]

Nice.

The "Prototype" robots always put me in mind of an escaped robot/creature from the Doctor Who universe.

Oh, your photographs are amazing! I love how you've set everything up, and the icing sugar snow is, if you'll pardon the pun, the icing on the cake (or biscuit)

So, as I'd watched Demon - I followed up with Course: Oblivion. Quite a bleak episode and one that feels a bit mean spirited. That said, the show was trying something different and that should be applauded. Janeway really does take a long time to make the right decision in this one!

The design for this came quite easily - I knew I wanted a skull and crossbones to signify all the death. And the silver blood spatter just seemed the next logical step. I'm not sure my warping of the Voyager came out so well though - but it was the best I could do.

The season 1 finale - not a bad episode, but one that got a lot of viewers who were likely expecting something......more.
