Okay so I maybe mentioned this before: I’ve been working on the designs for a faux film festival for a course in my graphic design grad program. Lots of work, very detailed. In my case, it’s all about Terry Gilliam. I chose the festival title to be “As We Once Dreamed It”, as it’s a phrase Gilliam uses over and over in his commentaries, describing sets and scenes, mostly because so few big ideas come together exactly how he’d hoped in the end. With my festival’s theme ofSuppression of Imagination in the films of Terry Gilliam, that particular phrase seems to hit the nail on the head as a title. Always being held back, that man. This shows about half of the artifacts that I ended up making for this faux film festival. I’m exhausted. Anyway, the full list: 30X40” poster 12X16” poster (same as the larger one) 80-page book/catalog, all about the film festival and the director magazine ad / bus shelter ad / newspaper ad (Financial Times) DVD packaging for each movie screened, including 28-page booklets for each Festival tickets/passes for each film Festival letterhead / envelope / business card Website for festival info (7 pages) Collectible scripts for each film screened Set of As We Once Dreamed It office supplies (pens, pad, stapler, staple remover) Stamp set with ink pad (stamps = Festival logo, Gilliam’s crazy signature, ‘IMAGINATION’, ‘SUPPRESSION’, and ‘DENIED’) Festival schedule, including slip cover An annotated process journal showing the construction of this event 1-minute trailer/advertisement for the festival, to be shown in theaters. Or okay here it is on Vimeo too, if you wanna watch it. A black briefcase to hold it all, lined with sky and clouds. If nothing else, it means I actually have a ‘DENIED’ stamp I can carry with me everywhere now. And that’s something people could get very tired of me having around, I imagine.
