Poster Recreation

A recreation of an existing BMW M3 E46 poster, created from a low-resolution reference image found on Pinterest. Since the original image assets were unavailable, I used AI image generation to reconstruct the main vehicle imagery before refining and integrating it into the final composition. The project focused on accurately recreating the original visual direction while using my own approach to image generation, editing, typography and layout. The final artwork was prepared as a high-quality print poster.

Process

The process began with a low-resolution Pinterest reference, which was the only available source for the recreation. Since the original image assets were unavailable, I had to find a way to rebuild the main imagery while staying as close as possible to the reference.

Using AI image generation, I reconstructed the BMW M3 E46 and created a suitable high-resolution image to work with. I then refined the generated result through image editing before moving on to the poster composition and final design.

Design

The design was recreated with a focus on matching the visual hierarchy, composition and overall aesthetic of the original poster. I rebuilt the typography, spacing and graphic elements around the newly generated BMW imagery.

The goal was to preserve the character of the reference while adapting the design to work as a clean, high-quality printed poster.

Brand Applications

The final design was presented through a series of mockups to explore how the poster could work in different settings and colour variations.

These variations allowed me to test the visual flexibility of the design while keeping the overall identity and composition consistent.
