New work!

You might have recently caught the documentary Hostage over on the BBC, which investigates the disappearance and ultimate fates of journalists James Foley and John Cantlie after they were captured by Islamic State.

I was asked by to produce the key art for this one, with a brief that it needed to have a cinematic feel and convey the danger and environment the two men were working in.

There’s no doubt about it. AI design is getting better and better. It makes less obvious ‘mistakes’, it understands more nuanced prompts, and its outputs have a put-together glossy polish that looks – at least to the untrained eye – professional.

Of course, as most of us are aware, there is also a lot of controversy about just how AI got this ‘good’. For the machine learning required for this process, generative AI needs to harvest vast amounts of other work – the work of creative humans, most of whom haven’t agreed to this. And on the flip side, there are also creatives defending this process as simply technology developing. There are many articles out there shining a light on this much better than I can – so this isn’t an article about that. Instead, it’s an article about what AI design doesn’t offer.

I wanted to take a deep dive into one of my favourite genres – sci-fi – to examine how you can use this knowledge of colour to approach different looks for your film poster. As you hone in and decide on a concept, don’t forget one of the key considerations you should make for a film poster of ...

Shadows can be used in poster design to add mystery (it’s especially effective for easter eggs), forge powerful emotional resonance and reveal unexpected connections. It can tease nostalgia or hint at plot points without necessarily giving the game away. And it’s a powerful visual counterpoint to flashy and colourful imagery.

In this article, I’ll examine how shadows and shade can be used effectively in poster design and take a look at some striking examples.

When talking about my job, I get a lot of questions about how exactly a project is developed. Of course, there are always some differences – but in this article I’ll break down a typical key art brief from start to finish, to give you a feel for my particular process and what I feel works.

Here's the final part of the set of true crime documentaries I worked on with for .

This one dealt with a case where someone was put away for a series of crimes, but later when the crimes resumed, the police realised there were actually two culprits - so I've aimed to capture that in the visuals.

Here's a recent project I worked on as part of the slate of true crime documentaries with for .

All of these series dealt with sensitive subjects, this one especially, and it was important to find a balance between a compelling, clickable image without descending into sensationalism and shock value.

NEW WORK!

I loved working on this poster for Conflicting Reports by , an alien invasion film with a very current 'alternate facts' angle.

As another year of incredible posters comes to an end, it’s time for me to (try!) and pick some of my favourites from across the year. I always say I could have picked plenty more, and that’s as true this year as any other! Let’s get going shall we?

It’s been a while since I shared some work on here, so here’s the poster I created for Hitch 60, a documentary charting the real-life experiences of two women, who hitchhiked as teens to the Middle East during its golden age in the 1960s.

(I loved pulling together all the retro passport stamps for the background!)

With the emergence of poster design clichés, there's also a groundswell of designers and audiences who want to create and see more interesting work. Hand-drawn posters saw a resurgence and with the rise of alternative movie posters (AMPs) – we’re perhaps even in a new Golden Era of poster design.

In this environment, it seems natural that designers would experiment with posters that combine photographic and illustrated elements to engage audiences, add dimensions and tell stories.
