City Shorts
Design, Print, Digital, Illustration
The Cinema Department at CCSF holds a student film festival every Spring, and has been doing so for (at the time of writing) 21 years. 21 years of City Shorts also means 21 previous City Shorts posters. I challenged myself to create something with a unique twist, one they'd likely not seen before. I once heard that watching a good film is like eating a good meal—satisfying and fulfilling in just the right ways. I took this idea and leaned into hyperbole, with this depiction of a peculiar 8mm appetizer. Project deliverables were a 11''x17'' poster with social media assets. Imagery was created through a combination of digital photography and manual usage of Photoshop brushes.
Initial concepts for event poster.
Adjustments were made in terms of typography and illustration across various applications.
