Cherub

Teaser poster for a teenage UK spy thriller, based on a successful book series.

The Next Three Days

We were asked to take the US artwork and give it more impact. We changed the colour palette and used a strong spot coloured graphic device to enhance the stand out. The graphic elements allowed us to deliver many different formats and kept the campaign consistent.

Shrapnel

Shrapnel needed to convey ‘The Hunter Becomes The Hunted’ and so we created an image from the view point of one of the protagonists aiming at the other. The crossbow was 3D rendered in-house and then integrated into the poster.

The title treatment was designed to add extra impact and relevance to...

The Devils Double

The real story of the man who was forced to become the double of Saddam Hussein’s sadistic son. We produced two posters, one that conveyed the forced co-operation of the double and one that combined a moment of violence with wealth, using Uday Hussein’s famous golden AK47.

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Shrouded in mystery, the girl with the dragon tattoo needed to be revealed in a striking and memorable way. With that in mind we created a campaign and visual language that took you on an investigation of your own.

The Girl Who Played With Fire

This is a teaser poster, advertising the upcoming release. We constructed the Dragon from flames, using the same template as the dragon on our Dragon Tattoo poster so as to retain the branding.

Buried

Waking up to find you’ve been buried alive inside a coffin with only a lighter and a cell phone is a frightening thought, so we needed to capture the panic and claustraphobic nature of this film immediately.

The Lives of Others

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.

The Secret In Their Eyes

This had to be unique but retain its thriller essence. Based around the eye, which when peeled back showed layers of story we incorporated images of the gunman and the main character. Originally we used a very female eye, but it was simplified to just become a shape, which on studying should become...

The Silence

Description…

Eden Lake

We wanted to create an image that is both delicate but violent at the same time. A dainty hand, a pretty dress, tousled hair, juxtaposed with blood, dirt and a weapon. She’s been through hell but she came out of it living. We wanted to avoid the cliched dark image of hooded youths that is so...

Tracker

Set in New Zealand in the early 1900’s, Tracker is the story of a mutual respect between two opposing characters, the hunter and the hunted. The brief was to create a teaser poster that captured some of the scale of the landscape and the idea that Ray Winstone was the Tracker.

Red Riding Trilogy

A thrilling trilogy of films based on David Peace’s cult noir novels about Yorkshire during the 1970s and 80s. Welcome to a world of paranoia, corruption - and the terrifying legacy of the Ripper murders…

International Poster and Promotional Brochure

Neuromancer

In dealing with making an image for a making of the classic book, we wanted a mixture of mechanical and organic material to create a hybrid of man and machine.

Mona Lisa

A re-make of the 1986 classic, we were asked to come up with an image that would stand out and also give a hint to the call girl aspect of the film. We commissioned a specialist to create a neon sign for us that would glow red, the treatment was eye catching and memorable. Photography by John Ross

A Prophet

We wanted to show that the film was more than just a coming of age prison cell drama. Malik strides confidentally breaking outside of his cell window…is it a vision of what he once was? who he is? The image is gritty, simple and timeless.
