Visuals & Packaging for Film
Bad Faith
Bad Faith is a short student film still in production for which I was asked to make the YouTube thumbnail, DVD cover, and posters. I staged photos of a madonna statue in a party setting, hoping to contrast the rigidity of religion with the chaos of a drunken night of sin.
I then designed an alternate option in Illustrator: a simple grayscale image of a madonna that evoked more modern printmaking methods like stencil. This was paired with a similar design for a DVD label.
Finally I turned to movie posters, trying out different ideas in Photoshop and drawn digitally in Procreate. For this project, I challenged myself to make the art look more professional, and less DIY-looking than my previous film visuals.
Night-Glo
Night-Glo is a movie that my friend wrote and directed while in high school. He asked me to create the cover art for the movie, which I had never done before. I laid it out in Photoshop over the course of a couple of months, opting for a stacked character design as an attempt to make the student film feel more legitimate.
I was also able to design a YouTube thumbnail and use it as the DVD label art.
Dial One First
Dial One First was a short thriller film made during the pandemic. I designed the YouTube thumbnail to invoke a movie like Face/Off. I thought this would especially work because the two actors in the thumbnail are cousins, and have similar facial features. I also created a simple Photoshopped image of a phone to be used for marketing on social media.
