Movie Poster Design
The Sneetches Series
The inspiration for this passion project came when I was looking for a book to read to my 5-year-old campers. As I was looking through my mom's collection of children's books, I happened upon Sneetches on Beaches. As I was reading it, I couldn't help but feel like the Sneetches story was actually an alarmingly brilliant cautionary tale about our irrational measures of superiority.
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 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.
