We combined reference of the letter and image of her within the flames to create this poster.

In this beautiful and dramatic film three pieces of gold are very symbolic, so we created strips to contain the (contractual) images and merged illustration with photo for an enhanced effect.

Our image is about the boy trying to keep his head above water. The title is over 3 lines to tie in with the promo, which was created first.

For The King’s Speech we chose to focus on the endearing relationship between the King and his tutor. The red and gold colour palette gave a regal quality to the piece and the typographic style was based on Ministry of Information publicity posters of the time.

Metrodome wanted the UK poster for Rabbit Hole to tonally feel in line with what had been done Internationally but they wanted an extra twist to the artwork.

The shattered effect through the poster resembles the cracks appearing in the couples relationship as they try to deal with their loss.

The title treatment appears to have grown. As the letters and branches intertwine we also get across the four seasons with the use of colour. The tree is divided into the four seasons – spring at the bottom, with new leaves and flowers on the branches, summer next, then autumn with brown and orange...

One night at a bar, an old friend tells director Ari about a recurring nightmare in which he is chased by 26 vicious dogs. Every night, the same number of beasts. The two men conclude that there’s a connection to their Israeli Army mission in the first Lebanon War of the early eighties.

“This needs to be cult & cool” was the brief. Working within extensive contractual obligations we managed to capture the essence of the film and create a poster that ticks both boxes. The iguana adds intrigue and a surreal slant. To capture the unhinged nature of Nicolas Cages performance we offset...

Dealing with a film that is about such an Iconic character meant that we needed to deliver something that would resinate with people from the offset. With its simple bold title treatment and use of colour this poster was instantly recognisable.

With a sense of voyeurism and intrigue, coupled with simple design and earthy colours, this was less about ‘over design’ and more about creating clear branding.
This went on to do so well we produced over 60 adverts, and bearing in mind this was a German film that was quite unique.

A woman struggles to interact with her family and find her place in society after spending fifteen years in prison. The brief was to create something bold and simple using a shot of KST, but also to introduce the other cast in a minimal way.

For the German release of Carlos The Jackal. It had to symbolise the world of Carlos the Jackal, not focusing on the violence, but be both cool and accessible to a multi-plex and arthouse audience, male and female. It will have great reviews, should feature some strong quotes and incorporate the...

By creating a style that acted as a series of windows into the world of the Comorrah, we were able to meet the clients specific brief of showcasing the scale of the film as well as many aspects of the Naples Mafia at a glance.

Quite simply we wanted to show the cast overpowered by the mysterious, threatening figure of Paddy Considine, with the axe becoming their executioner. Influenced by 60’s horror posters, the moment Shane was shown the poster is featured on the DVD. Fortunately it went down very well.

This poster was designed as a preliminary piece for festivals. The film was in pre-production, and so with no stills or unit shots available we worked from the script. It had to incorporate the young cast, which we were able to achieve by using stock photography.

The creative needed to be quirky, off beat and original. This concept was based around the idea of CK entering his own head, but because of the stage-play set backdrop to the film, we made it a drape. This way we could maintain the higher concept, but keep to the central theme of the film.

The idea comes from a typical family portrait, but in this the child wears a mask, which is out of the ordinary.
The mask had to both something a child would wear and have threat.
At a time when the client needs a poster, but full cast isnt yet signed, we have to be resourcful. We wanted to show...

For the story of Mussolini’s secret lover, Ida Dalser, we opted for a classic portrait, strong and forthright, but she looks haunted somehow. We wanted a rich but fresh colour pallette.

“Documentary Filmmaker looking for suicidal individual to follow from first preparation to final act.” - Cut from 142 video tapes, this project sheds light on the tragedy following the infamous Internet ad. Its difficult to pin down exactly why we did this chosen design, but we definitely liked the...

We opted for a close up of Kate to symbolise the intimacy and uncomfortableness of the subject matter. To get a sense of the danger we added bruises and a hand, which leaves it open to the viewer as to if it is either being tender or more physical.

A film by Bernard Rose, based on the novel by Leo Tolstoy with music by Ludwig Van Beethoven.

Following on from Kidulthood we wanted to create something that was in keeping with the previous film but taking it on a step. The film is set six years after the first and therefore an element of maturity was needed in the art direction and styling.

The wife of a photojournalist sets out to discover why he came home from a recent assignment without his colleague.

We tried to capture a moment in the film where he is surrounded by the mayhem of battle.

With almost no assets to speak of we were asked to create an identity for Mr. Nice, AKA Howard Marks, once britain’s biggest trafficker of marijuana. The rizla branding has been adapted to create a teaser thats familiar, strong and simple.

Our brief was to sell this 40 year old french new wave masterpiece to a new generation and the existing one. We were heavily influenced by the work of Blue Note records graphic designer Reid Miles who’s style shaped the face of jazz.

The main characters are on the move and seem to be engagaed in a world of their own. The simplicity and graphic space reflect the directors distinctive graceful style. Mr Wenders was very appreciative of our delicate simple approach.
