DAILY GRAPHIC DESIGN CHALLENGE - DAYS 87 TO 116 - CRITERION COLLECTION

July 12, 2017

FILM NOSTALGIA AND COVER DESIGN

This month I went back to my true love, movies. Growing up I would watch anything and everything (except horror movies). Criterion Collection films always indicated a degree of quality and generally exhibited beautifully crafted packaging and design. The style deviated from the normal mass marketing from any of the films original release. I appreciated that fact then and I appreciate it now. These designs are a tribute to Criterion Collection and the magic of movie making. During this months challenge, I explored some new photo manipulation techniques, but really strove to capture what I felt was the core theme or iconic scene from each movie. 

RULES
DAY 87 TO 116

Below are the rules/themes I tried to stick to for this months challenge.

  1. Films would be designed with Criterion Collection style
  2. Avoid using cover designs currently existing from the selected film (or alter existing into something new)
  3. Spend approximately 1 to 1.5 hours per design
  4. Limit content to title of the film, the director, and actors (optional)

So that's another thirty down. Comment, share, critique. Again, if you have a challenge that you created yourself, I'd love to hear about it and follow your progress as well.
Be back in another 30.
