A young technophile is challenged by an unwelcome trickster - a mad man who advocates past practices and technical obsolence with the ultimate goal to decrease the competitiveness of Deutsche Bank. Within the company, the antagonist's destructive attitude to digital technology spreads like an infectious disease which immediately turns those who come into contact with it old as the hills. The evil force threatens to kill the business culture and rip Deutsche Bank and its customers apart. However, the hero manages to bring the company back on track by turning the digital devices of the bank’s employees and its customers into a powerful digital network that allows customers and employees to unite forces and jointly get rid of Mr Evil's destructive attitude toward digital technology.
Solution
Please explain how your poster brings the idea of digital leadership to life?
The hero saves Deutsche Bank with the help of the digital net - just like Spiderman uses his spiderweb to defeat evil.

Hello Key. Welcome to the DB crowdstorm, happy to have you with us.
Wow - you really hit the nail on the head here and there are many things I really like about this idea.
Love the superhero angle and the bombastic language: evil force, hero, rip apart it really invokes this summer blockbuster feeling DB is looking for. Coming Soon to a Branch Office Near You - Very good! Overall a very solid concept - Great work!
How can you take this even further? I suggest that you ditch the happy ending and instead go for a more teaser trailer approach. Trailers manage to get a lot of information across in very short time but never give away the ending.
Also, try to develop a dramatic moment/conflict where the hero/heroes are pitched, face to face against the evil force. The mask in theposter could maybe be a bit more defined by adding a hint of eyes, nose or mouth. Make it a bit more human.
Really looking forward to your feedback and updates!
Hi Per, thank you for your kind words and your very helpful feedback.
I will definitely develop the overall story to have it more in line with the structure of a movie trailer.
Also, I should probably add some abdominal muscles to the poster or develop the hero's chest even further - the poster should actually show the hero's chest rather than a mask. So that's a point I'll definitely work on - glad you brought that up.
Thanks again. Cheers, Jonas
Hi Per, I have uploaded a second poster. Now, the torso might be more obvious. Have a great weekend Jonas
Hi Jonas!
I found a free PSD movie title template that I think could be helpful for you to add that little extra - http://www.tipsquirrel.com/movie-poster-credit-template-for-photoshop/
Hi Per! Thats very kind of you. Thank you. I'll add it to the design.
Cool idea :) Maybe you could really invest in the parody style and add some superhero tropes, like a secret identity for the hero, showing his transformation to us, etc. Good luck!
Hi Lucas! I will definitely consider adding some kind of superhero trope. Thanks for the very helpful advice! All the best :)
I like the story and the web word play that lead you to a Spiderman kind of superhero. If this would ever get on the screen, I surely hope they will choose wiser their actors :))) Congrats and best of luck, key!
