TIME TO CATCH UP!!!

These are posters I designed for a theoretical film festival called the Sour Sweets Film Festival that is sponsored by an organization invented by myself called the Lamebrains. The project was to create a series of posters about a film festival that we were to curate. I chose the films Killer Klowns From Outer Space, Somewhere in Dreamland, and Sweet Talk. The theme that I chose to relate them all was candy. I LOVE CANDY. All of the films seemed to use candy as a negative force, different to the way we typically think of candy and sweets. My idea was to create a narrative that displays this idea through exploiting the way that candy literally does damage or release its downside: tooth decay.

Type in Motion:

"If I only knew then what I know now"
This was an assignment for my Experimental Typography class. It was to relay yourself a message from the future, a message of advice I suppose. I'm not quite satisfied with it. It was a week assignment and I consider this product to be more of a sketch that if given more time could develop into something much cooler.

Let It Be:

Minou

This is another stuffed animal I made as a gift. We named it Minou which means "kitty" in French. I used an old pair of chorderoy pants and store bought fabric.
