Sleuth by Anthony Shaffer

Quirksome Theatre will shortly be putting on a production of Anthony Shaffer's hilarious two-hander Sleuth at the Hopkinson Vintage Gallery on Station St in Nottingham.

Below is the poster I have designed for the marketing of the show. I got a bit carried away again but it was fun. Further info can be found in the magnifying glass - do come! Tickets can be purchased online HERE.


Movie Poster Design Competition

Well, the Movie Preview Network's State of the Art Film Poster Design Competition (...phew!) was brought to my attention by my friend Elanor some time before the deadline and was a great opportunity to enter a poster design competition for one of two possible films- very exciting, I'm rather into designing posters after all!

In the end, life and work got in the way, things got busy and I ended up with a grand total of about 1 hr 15mins left to create my design in Photoshop (from a bit of a rough doodle I had stored in my head) and submit it online!

So suffice to say I'm not best pleased with the result as there is a lot more I'd have liked to have done - making the text pop out a bit more in certain areas where it is getting a little lost, filling up some of the matte black areas with texture or provided visual materials from the film, and just generally neatening the idea up a bit. But I wanted to enter it in time for the deadline so I had to send in what I would normally have considered the 'first draft' and you can see the result by clicking HERE.

There are 3 other entries currently up in the gallery so, I'll just have to wait and see! *fingers crossed*

(More poster design news of the theatre variety coming shortly...)
