Earliest Hotel Transylvania Foyer/Lobby Design

Another one I found in my archives! Hotel Transylvania went through five different versions. This is the very first lobby/foyer design for the first version of the movie. Interesting to note is the date and the early Dracula design I used here. I pitched the idea that the entire hotel was carved from a huge rock on a mountain top.

Arclight Cinemas Wall

(Above): The Hotel Transylvania layout I did for the Arclight Cinemas' wall in Sherman Oaks. Each individual panel is standard 27"x 40" 200 dpi poster size so you can imagine the total file size for this!

Evolution of Hotel Transylvania Teaser Poster

Poster design for an animated film in a big studio is a bit tricky. We collaborate with the marketing department and they have the creative control. My task for the Hotel Transylvania poster is to lay down the ground work based from the idea/images (below) provided by marketing. Above are the designs I came up with.

My images were accepted by marketing and had their own artists do some final changes and add the necessary details. Here's the final version.
