Open City - Festival Programme

This is the last OPEN CITY related post as the job is finally finished! Here are some pictures of the festival programme I designed which listed details of the 140 films on show. There were 8 strands to the festival - City Scope, Crime & Punishment, World Visions, Science Fictions, Still Lives, Field & Factory, Exhibition Format and Obsessions. I created an illustration to accompany each of the strands.

My illustrations for the Open City Documentary have been brought to life by the animator Craig Murray. I think the hand-made, cut out quality of the animation fit very nicely with the illustrations. Amazingly, he made the whole thing using an A4 scanner!

Open City - London Documentary Film Festival

Over the past few weeks I've been busy working on illustration and design for a new London Documentary Film Festival - OPEN CITY. The project has involved creating a whole series of illustrations which represent the different aspects of the festival. For the poster the different elements were collaged together to create a composite image suggestive of the festival bursting out of the city. There were a few different iterations of design (images below) before reaching the finalised design (image above). It's been a really fun job to work on so far and there is still a lot more work to do!
