^^^^^^ To design 4 posters for arthouse films. We had the freedom to decide whether we wanted to create the film posters for a festival in the location of our choice, or just for the films themselves.
I decided to design my film posters for a film called 'Destricted.' The film is an hour and a half long and is compiled from seven short films from well acclaimed directors including Marina Abromovich, Sam Taylor - Wood and Gaspar Noe. The film is a celebration of sexuality in film and is bordering on pornography... I thought it might be interesting to design for this and make it not look like a film entirely based on this subject. I did a poster for each of the seven films and got inspiration for the type and image from old milk bottles in the 1950's, I liked how the innocent typeface and discreet images do not look at first glance like they are advertising a film so sexually explicit. I also decided to have the film being shown in two of the most well known arthouse cinemas in the world- Sunshine Cinema, New York and Curzon Cinema in London for one week only. As the seven short films come together to make one film, I had Destricted- the film name, running through the back of the cinemas so that when they are seen together they look like a set.
