    uniE621 FOX “MINIMAL MOVIE POSTER” STEELBOOKS
    The brief for this thoroughly enjoyable project was to create bespoke steelbook packaging in the style of Minimal Movie Posters for a series of classic 20th Century Fox titles. The notion was to conjure iconic scenes or to evoke their essence through a minimal aesthetic. (*The Rocky Horror Picture Show front was designed by Scott Woolston, reverse by myself.)

    uniE621 Dark Arts
    Warner Bros. Studio Tours London, The Making of Harry Potter, regularly holds special seasonal exhibitions and events, the most prominent of which are the annual celebrations around Christmas & Halloween. This campaign for Halloween 2021 focused on the dark magic side of the Wizarding World, the Dark Arts. My inspiration came from the potions classroom where a lot of the darkest magic can be found. The artwork combined this classroom setting, which can be found at the studio tour, with the Dark Mark, a symbol of the deadliest side of magic in the Potter universe: a snake emerging from the mouth of a human skull, as seen in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. https://www.twine.net/signin graphicdesigner illustrator designer
