Movie Poster Design
The Sneetches Series
The inspiration for this passion project came when I was looking through a collection of children's books. As I was browsing, I happened upon Sneetches on Beaches, a Dr Seuss short story I loved as a kid. Reading the story as an adult, though, I suddenly realized how alarmingly accurate the story is as a metaphor for the real world.
The story describes two kinds of sneetches, the plain sneetches and the superior star-bellied sneetches. One day a business man comes with a machine that can put stars on the sneetches bellies. Once all of the sneetches get stars on their bellies, suddenly the starless sneetches are viewed as superior, so the businessman creates a star removal machine and so begins the endless cycle of the sneetches running from one machine to the other.
Given the embarrassing truth that we could all learn from this children's story, I wanted to make a really fun, playful series that asks the viewer to analyze the relevance of the sneetch story to our own adult lives. What better way to do that then the medium of movie posters.

Zombie Poster
Poster designs made in Photoshop for a non-existent Zombie movie. I wanted to deviate from the norm of zombie movies and humanize the zombies, so to speak, by making the zombie a little baby for the poster on the left. Truth be told this choice was partially made because I wanted an excuse to draw a cute zombie baby. The poster on the right is a more conventional Zombie movie poster. I wanted to play on the similar shapes in a map and a brain.
