Junwei Lin | Kung Fu Panda Alternative Poster
Hi I'm Junwei Lin. I just graduated from ArtCenter last winter. I specialize in background design, prop design, layout design. The inspiration for my artwork primarily stems from my life experiences, as well as films and television.
I redesigned a movie poster for Kung Fu Panda, one of the most impactful childhood movies that influenced me to pursue a career in art. Instead of following the original plot, I crafted a side story depicting Po's journey of learning to use Qi. I chose to set it against the backdrop of the Sky Emperor Palace. While the original poster focused solely on Po as the main character, I aimed to capture a broader perspective, highlighting the relationship between nature's Qi and pandas, who are the primary beings to have delved into its mysteries. Overall, it is the last piece I created during my time in college and undoubtedly the one I am most proud of from my college years.
Junwei's favorite films are Kung Fu Panda, Up, Farewell My Concubine, and Spirit Away
