I'm using Clint's Pearl Harbor since years now but I wanted to do something that fits my Midway cover from 2020. I've
tryed to keep it looking the same (charcter sizes, amount of characters and their positions, battle scene at the bottom etc.).
But I'm struggling with the title because it now has not only six but eleven letters. If I go with it for one line I have a lot of free space, if I keep the letter's size the same I need two lines but you onyl can guess the name (of course nearly everybody knows the movie by the images) and it's very prominent allthough it's behind the artwork. The small planes need to be distributed again of course.
The best compromise might be different sizes for each word but in the end the word Pearl is as imortant as Harbor.
So I don't know what to do with the title right now and I'm looking for some help.

I've also added some images to give you an idea what I did to put this image together. Josh, Kate, Cuba an Mako are build with two or more images. I've used Photoshop's HDR toning and the Dodge & Burn tool to bring out the details or painted some here and there. I've used some more of Photoshops's own filters to get the images done as well (Shadows/highlights, Smart blur)
For Kate Backinsale there are a lot of promo shots available but most of them have so much grain that I couldn't use them to get a similar character look as I have on my Midway cover. Most of the movies stills of her show useless/strange poses and I wanted some similar to Mandy Moore. So I've used a promo shot of her and took the face from offical poster art. Building Kate I had some help with reducing the heavy noise by my friend weyn so thanks a lot buddy.

Ben and Josh are done the smae way so Josh as example:

I couldn't find any working image of the USS Arizona so I took a picture of the USS Missouri instead to go with:

For big plane in the middle of the front I've used a Midway poster and adjusted the plane to get a fitting look for Pearl Harbor.
The other planes are taken from offical poster artwork and since they're not to big in my front the bad quality doesn't really matter.
