This began after presenting some moods for an event poster (not these though) and they went with someone else.
So decided it was an opportunity to explore the 60’s, learn a bit and it inspired the idea of taking one idea and doing it in many different style to play and show the breadth of possibility.
The first was really a response to a modern psychedelic idea, which was inspired by the Bob Dylan illustration. I did a range of illustrations to fit different situs and possible promotions. Using bright colours to signify 60’s pop with some Op art embellishments and gold finish.
For the woman in the blinds, I am tackling Bauhaus and Neo Noir genres to see how I can communicate that period in cinema, how the legislation affected the film in terms of story and image, using plainer, simple forms. I am really enjoying this one, I think I’m going to take it as far as it can go. I’ll change the illustrations to match the quotes, as the shop was opening though, I thought it was fun to hide it and have someone peering out but you can’t see in. Also gives them time to set up. They are also selling the Psycho poster and I think I want a range of horror to romance in these displays and promotions. I think it’s a shock and edgy to see a murderous quote selling a place. I found that exciting, I think it makes it stand apart as edgy and something you’d be intrigued by. Who says happiness sells dreams.
May the list go on…
