Derby Film Festival Launches!

 

 

 

 

 

After working on ID Fest for 4 years, we were absolutely thrilled to be asked to work on the next iteration for the wonderfully creative film festival held at QUAD every year.  Now simply called 'Derby Film Festival', this ten day celebration of film is sure to be a wonderful event!  Special guests include the inimitable John Hurt, Phil Davis plus lots more!!

Our approach to the project was inspired by the work of the legendary Saul Bass, whose graphic design for opening sequences was so integral to the movie industry in the 1950s & 60s, working with greats such as Hitchcock, Billy Wilder, Stanley Kubrick and Martin Scorcese.  This look is still as relevant and popular today as it was then.  We felt this, along with a limited colour palette and bold typography created a strong brand identity for the festival that exuded intrigue, fun and entertainment, whilst being a contemporary and innovative place to celebrate the movie industry.

The website with the full festival programme can be viewed here.

Summer Nights Film Festival 2014

 

 

 

 

We were thrilled to be asked for the third year running to create the marketing materials for the 2014 Summer Nights Film Festival, run by QUAD, Derby.  This year we were excited to create a dedicated website for the festival, allowing visitors to book tickets, find out what's on and get useful information for their visit.  Using the wonderful photography by Graham Lucas Commons, we're so proud of this scheme and can't wait to kick back with a picnic basket in front of one of these fantastic films!

Summer Nights Film Festival

We were so pleased to be once again asked to design the artwork for the annual Summer Nights Film Festival in Derby.  This outdoor cinema festival has grown again this year, featuring some fantastic films such as Skyfall, The Dark Knight Rises and Les Miserables.

 

Working with the logo designed last year, we developed the look and paired it with the fantastic photography of Graham Lucas Commons (click here to visit his website) to create a dreamy, summery feel to leaflets, banners and flyers.

iDFEST 2013

For this year's iDFEST we were asked to create a look that would be used across all print and web work that echoed the festival's theme of 'Family'. Taking inspiration from The Royal Tenenbaums film (also showing at iDFEST) we created an artpack that had a 1970's family album feel; from the orange and brown colours to the old green wallpaper. Also a main feature were the 'family photographs' themselves; a combination of film stills and guest images featured in customised photo frames as well as a fantastic collection of real 70's family photos that were kindly donated to us.
