SPACE POSTER TRIAL (A1)

LFF - CULT

For the identity and concept behind the London Film festival I have been looking into the classification of the actual festival it's self. Even though on a mass scale, I like the idea of it being a cult following, therefore connecting it to religion with the idea of congregation, and worship. A gathering to almost pay respects to the film itself. Looking at historical Florentine paintings, compositions and viewpoints can be used to help strengthen the image (poster or design) as Jesus/Mary is always the centre piece, with perspective and inner shapes being used to attract the viewer towards the centre of the image. The use of modern methods to publicize religion today resorting to neon lights to me has a strange, commercial but also theatrical approach. Within this design I hope to combine the methods and compositional structure of florentine paintings and use of neon commercialism.   



























DARK IN DARK TRIALS

Simple idea of merely trying to achieve spacial awareness 
by only the slightest touches, using the darkest shades all 
over 97% black and simple perspective. Different possibilities 
of shapes but also lighting to create further depth.
