Details:
I've had a lot of people request me to do this poster ... I gotta say it was a load of fun to make.

Ok so ... Obviously the colours are based off the Portal Colours (Orange & Blue) The rest being whites blacks and steels. The poster starts with the Companion Cube making the majority of the frame of the poster. I also threw the heart in the centre. Chell is the main character dead centre in the circle she is holding the Portal Gun. The title Portal has an entry portal in it and the exit is the large blue ring encircling everything ... you'll notice that just inside the large blue ring is the aperture ring which represents that everything is happening within the Aperture Science Labs and the blue ring is outside it to show that the goal really is to get out. I wanted to show a basic idea that the orange rings are the entry and the blue are the exit by including them in the credits. You will notice there is always an exit portal for every entry one in the poster.

Some of the other elements in the poster are GLaDOS who is watching Chell. I put Monitors all around displaying the infamous Cake ... attempting to reassure the viewer that it is real. I've also thrown in a security camera and several Turrets lined up behind Chel.

One detail you probably can't see because it is so small is the outer edge of the poster in the black areas actually has the entire lyrics to the song "Still Alive"

There are more little details but I think that should be enough to get across my point hehe.

The original size of this poster is 13'x19'. Of course credit goes to the creators and all of the people at Valve who worked on this fantastic video game.
Thanks for Looking.
