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.

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.
