Photography

My A level in 2008 was a branding project about

​

a "made up" short-film-festival called

​

"LICHT[BLICK]*" (german for blink or ray of hope).

​

​

​

The brief demanded our final year group to

​

create a full identity about this festival including

​

logo, posters and prints in a short period of time.​

It was totally up to us as designers what the



short-films were about, the content and how



the branding should look like. The only



commitment was it should look as abstract  as



possible as well as a series that should form a



whole without using any images from the



internet, only our owns.

Short exposure time

When it becomes darker in the city it isn't

​

always easy for a photographer to "hold" the

​

image in order to achieve a focused picture.



But what else is there than this "perfect"

​

photography effect of focusing a picture?
​

Long exposure time

​The answer is a long exposure were you get

​

this nice effect of dragging lights. This offers a

​

lot of experimentation where you never know

​

how the next picture will turn out, depending

​

on the light and the individual hand

​

-movements.

Applying the brand

24 Bogen Plakate

The interesting part in this exercise was the



selection of the right images and the "image

​

detail". Which part is going to be shown? 

​

The only retouching on these images was the

​

intensity of the colours
​

Applying these posters to various places and



poster-walls around the city but only virtual



was another task on our brief in order to see



how it's going to function and if it would be



strong enough as "eye-catchers" for cars and



pedestrians.

Portrait posters

The different formats are part of the brief as

​

we were told it had to be a series of images

​

and posters including all the information and

​

details for the even.



​

WHERE / WHAT / WHO(M) / WHY /

​

HOW / MUCH ?​...ETC.

The folder

Last but not least, we had to apply the whole



design to a program folder which should​

​

include all the movies, articles, informations



and artists which join the short-film-festival.​
