GRAPHIC DESIGNER & ILLUSTRATION
Level 4 Certificate
Summer evening classes and assignment work whilst studying for a Level 4 certificate in Graphic Design & Illustration.
Theme: Cinemas are facing challenging conditions and times.
The aim of this project was to create a poster design that will coincide with screenings of an iconic world cinema film, enhance audience connections with cinema, explore image and typography.
The brief, to interpret in a poster design, an iconic moment from the culturally significant film chosen, whilst working across Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator.
My practice based research focused upon the theme of Hostile, a French film written and directed by Mathieu Turi. (Film synopsis in image)
Strong graphic ideas were used to communicate and make visible the intangible, emotional aspects of the iconic moment, including a display quote and supporting information.
Combining type & image, newly produced graphics & imagery.
Poster Animation - The motion-augmented version of the final movie poster, also created as a GIF, can be found below.
Risograph Printing Design, Visual Grammar & Composition were independent projects.
All visuals belong to myself. No imagery, footage or stills from the film were permitted or included.
