A promising young film director, MJ Slide, approached me on Facebook after having seen a film poster that I designed for another independent film project. The short film portrays the process of getting over a break up during a day’s adventures between two strangers.

Illustration
The poster’s illustration is created from a still frame from the finished film which was printed out and scanned at a high resolution to emphasize the dreamy quality of film grain. Even though the film was shot on digital video, the analog qualities of the print are amplified by scanning and enlarging it on the computer. The newly imported still becomes the basis of the digitally colored collage that constitutes the poster’s illustration, seen below.
A naturally aged piece of paper from my personal collection was lightened and then added as the ground for the poster’s layout. The typeface used is Europe Underground Black by Måns Grebäck.
