Screen to Stage

Poster design based on the adaption of a film into a stage production. Working in a pair, I had to watch the assigned film – In The Mood for Love – and create a set design based upon the movie to be photographed for the poster.  The poster design is based on the skyscrapers of Hong Kong where the film is set and is also inspired by the screens and shutters which appear throughout the film.

 

  • Earlier on today I got to have a preview of @vadundee and it was simply breathtaking! I can’t wait to visit again and explore it even more

I can now reveal that @vadundee chose me to design one of the doors of their social media advent calendar 🎄Check out their feed to see what’s behind the door

My design is based on the classic British Christmas image of a robin in a snowy scene and was created using layers of paper that I cutout by hand and then stuck together to make the final piece
