- Space OdysseyThe last brief of the year was a bit more open; I chose to create a Sci-Fi film festival and host it at the Futurist cinema in Liverpool. The idea to choose a sci-fi film festival came to me after reading the futurist first showed feature wide screen movies in 1956 and in the 50’s science and the idea of going in to space was a big part of the culture. So I wanted to relate back to that time period because movies like “the creature from the black lagoon” had such brilliant illustrated movie posters. For the branding I chose a font called Airship 27 which worked really well with the final pieces; 5 illustrated posters. Instead of hand drawing the illustrations I thought I’d try to make it slightly more modern and up to date and created some vector characters.
- Football NorthAs a live brief, the creators of Spiel Magazine were looking to set up a 5-a-side football tournament for design agencies. They asked the students if we could design a set of posters that could be sent out as invitations to the possible teams. I collaborated with fellow student Dan Goodwin to create these dynamic posters that fold up into an origami football. Whilst not a perfect ball, the final form is a rounded cube that clients fold, suitable for keepy-ups and other fun studio games. The object is fun to play with, as well as being a formal poster and invite. We wanted to get people involved, so the aim was to create something you could essentially kick up in the air and throw to your friends.
