Below are some of the pieces included in my faux Terry Gilliam Film Festival project, entitled As We Once Dreamed It: Suppression of Imagination in the films of Terry Gilliam. I completed the concept, design and construction of all the artifacts during the spring semester of 2009 for the AAU graduate graphic design program, here in San Francisco.

I chose the festival title to be “As We Once Dreamed It”, as it’s a phrase Gilliam uses over and over in his commentaries, describing sets and scenes, mostly because so few big ideas come together exactly how he’d hoped in the end. With my festival’s theme of Suppression of Imagination, that particular phrase seems to hit the nail on the head as a title. Always being held back, that man. This shows many of the artifacts that I ended up making for this faux film festival.Anyway, the full list, with links to Flickr for embiggening.

  1. 30X40” poster
  2. 12X16” poster (same as the larger one)
  3. 80-page book/catalog, all about the film festival and the director
  4. magazine ad / bus shelter ad / newspaper ad (Financial Times)
  5. DVD packaging for each movie screened, including 28-page booklets for each
  6. Festival tickets/passes for each film
  7. Festival letterhead / envelope / business card
  8. Website for festival info (7 pages)
  9. Collectible scripts for each film screened
  10. Set of As We Once Dreamed It office supplies (pens, pad, stapler, staple remover)
  11. Stamp set with ink pad (stamps = Festival logo, Gilliam’s crazy signature, ‘IMAGINATION’, ‘SUPPRESSION’, and ‘DENIED’)
  12. Festival schedule, including slip cover
  13. An annotated process journal showing the construction of this event
  14. 1-minute trailer/advertisement for the festival, to be shown in theaters. Here it is on Vimeo, if you wanna watch it.
  15. A black briefcase to hold it all, lined with sky and clouds.


If nothing else, it means I actually have a ‘DENIED’ stamp I can carry with me everywhere now, for random usage. And that’s something people could get very tired of me having around, I imagine.
