The Doom’s Day – Poster Design

Beginnings of the Doom’s Day design

After I posted the Legend Of A Lion featured design, I was watching some videos on YouTube the other day and some of them were talking about the Doom’s day and other stuff, many ideas started flipping around my head, I got the passion to make a Photoshop featured design that predicts how the end of the world would look like!! Especially after watching the 2012 movie on theater two years ago along with other Doom’s day or the judgment day movies someday, I had a bunch of ideas but they weren’t emphasizing what a featured design looks like!!

Ideas behind the Doom’s Day design

Later on, I Googled some photos and gathered my mind, taking in consideration that the world begins when first human being civilizations were founded in Mesopotamia (Iraq) more than 7000 Years B.D., and how life was greenish and colorful, so I assumed the Doom’s Day design should represent the first civilization’s end, no matter the time or the period as the design is just an artistic point of view, and from this point I started drawing my full design image inside of my head..

Design Description and Details

I used in the Doom’s Day design an estimated structure for Babylon’s Tower (because the original one does not exist nowadays) and also used the Great Mosque of Samarra (which represents other era of Mesopotamia), and predicted that one of the world’s ending factors were caused by Meteors out from the space attacked our planet, so you can see them hitting the grounds and destroy buildings like Babylon’s Tower and nature life of the earth’s civilization. You may also notice that the attacking time was a daytime not at night but the black clouds cover the sunlight, though some Sun rays are hitting the Great Mosque of Samarra showing this fact clearly.

Fire is everywhere and some eagles are flying around the Great Mosque of Samarra looking for dead bodies (this gives the impression that dead bodies are around), this happens during Winter (I took this idea from the 2012 movie because they predicted the doom’s day will be on 21st of Dec 2012 which is on Winter), and because of the huge fire temperature you can see the date palm trees being burned and the green grass becomes dry…
