Graphics 'TIME' film poster


The first week of graphics we were divided into groups and given a word which we are asked to make a film centered around said word. Our group was given the word 'Time' and with this we brainstormed the issues that arise or could arise within the structure of a film. We originally decided that decay would be interesting and this eventually evolved into a study of time processes that in some way or another get from one point to another. Independently we had to design and create a poster for the film. 

In making my poster I studied movie posters that inspired ideas for my own and designed a rough layout. I drew the eye and and in addition drew a clock which I then scanned into my computer and placed in inDesign which i used to create the poster above. I wanted the clock to be placed in the center of the eye. This was to indicated that time is perception and subjective, which was also the intention of the film. I found the film element of this assignment harder than anticipated, I think this was due in part to the group work. I usually am quite an independent thinker when it comes to creativity, so shifting my working process felt unnatural. Making the poster was my highlight and studying the way in which different movies present their film was interesting. I was unaware how influential an image when trying to convey the message or tone of a film.
