Summer project...

Over summer, we have been given a brief in which I have to invent a name and develop some branding ideas for a D&AD 'arthouse' film night. I've chosen four films, all from the director Tim Burton; "A Nightmare Before Christmas", "Corpse Bride", "Edward Scissorhands" and either "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" or "Alice in wonderland".
I have been doing research into Tim Burton the director/producer of many films which I enjoy watching. I've always appreciated the storylines and bizarre characters that he creates, his films have always received mixed reviews but my thought have always been positive.Tim Burton is possibly the greatest visionary director today. His dark visuals makes it wonderful to watch. He has the brain of a genius, the imagination of a child, and a dark fantasy in all of his ideas. I love the movie The Nightmare Before Christmas. It is made one-of-a-kind, and has a special plot.
After looking into the criticism that Burton has received it's clear to see that the criticism is mixed. I have decided to concentrate mainly on the positive because I don't agree with any of the negative criticism. there are many words to describe him such as bizarre, quirky, a genius and many more but one description that appeared a few times was phenomenal- extraordinary; outstanding. I think this would be the one word that I would use to describe Burton and his work. And for that reason I've chosen the name Phenom - a remarkable or outstanding person.

Here are my very first design to promote the film night; it's just the starting point a a lot more needs to be done as I haven't designed them very well. I am however going for a hand drawn feel because of his amazing skill of drawing. this is however more of a stencil feel.
