He’s talented in creating his own style. In 1984 he won the Caméra d’Or at Cannes Film Festival for Stranger Than Paradise and in 2005 he won the Grand Prix of the 2005 Cannes Film Festival for his film Broken Flowers. Jarmusch is ascribed as having instigated the American independent film movement with Stranger Than Paradise. The New York Times declared that Stranger than Paradise “permanently upended the idea of independent film as an intrinsically inaccessible avant-garde form”.

I chose the bloody scenes as my main object, and play with abstract textures/images/lights.

Mood board

I found some scratch textures and also used the modern typography to show the feeling from my narrative, a old apratment in nowadays society. And the scissor repesents the normal tools become murder/revenge weapons.

POSTER

At the first week, I didn’t decide the title and was still confusing about the poster. So I tried different layout and different styles. But they worked bad. But I did know the first poster has the right kind image and also had the best composition of this six.

Another thing is the heading treatment. The tape texture worked best, so I decided to keep working on that.

Poster

Second week, I did three different type treatments, like scaning tapes, writing with blood and handwriting, etc. And also took a lot of photos by myself. Searching high quality bloody image is really hard. I bought some fake blood and used tools in my apartment to get some good images.

I change the color tone to a colorful but brighter. And I didn’t used rusty texture anymore, which made the poster looks so dirty and low quality.

For the title type treatment, I wrote the title on the tapes, and then put them into a scanner. I got really good texture on the handwriting type.

Once I decided the image and the overall layout, I started to adjust the details, like the color, the hierarchy, added the type texture. And my venue is Koreatown, my director is also a Korean, so I added some Korean for the name of films and the sutitle.

Catalog

When I designed this catalog, I tried to add some “revenge”, “murder” flavor to it. So, I scaned some blood, the shapes looked nice. And in Park’s film, the main characters are always regular people at first. The scenes are people’s apartments or house, so I scaned some papers, the rough quality is also good for the topic.

I choose to make a large size DVD package. The binding is hard at first, then, I found I can use tapr, so I learn something about tape binding, which is work.

Another thing is the paperboard is too thick, so cutting is so difficult. Classmates told me use circle cutter, I practiced for a long time.

Because the standard printing paper in South Korea is A4, so the letter head is not 8.5*11 letter size. And I made a hammer shape for the envelope, which reminds people of Park or revenge.

CONTAINER Film festival container 14*6.5*5 inch Tool box

I bought a tool box as my container. Different from the American style, I chose a Japanese brand. The tool box is much delicate and smaller, which matches the Eastern feeling rather than the “Rugged�.

I spilt some fake blood on it, wanted to make it dirty and closer to my topic: revenge.

APP

I try to create an app that first can know some basic information about the film festival, like the films, director, venue; second, if they are facing something bad, they can calm down and don’t be excited. If they are going to revenge, nothing good will happen and in the end, they can not solve their problems.

So, I made a function called “Calm down timer”. If they need to calm down before they do something wrong, they can use this app to write down what happened, and set a timer to force themselves calm down. After that, they might realize they just need a little bit time to think.

43

APP

They timer can be set from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. If they enter the timer, there’s no other button they can press, they can do nothing during this time. So, they will have a free time to think what they just wrote and to consider whether it’s a serious problem.

With the time running by, the color will be green. They can sumbit their note and continue their film festival.
