Been a long time…
Well it's been a while and my excuse for an absence of 5 months is that I have been up to my eyes with projects and either have been under NDA's or too busy to take time out to catalogue the projects I've been involved in. But all being well I'll be back to regular blogging soon, watch this space…

Using their loaf
I was in my local Monoprix last night picking up a few things for tea and I came across this packaging for bread which made me smile. For those that don't know 'pain de mie' is the French version of sliced bread so some one had a bit of fun with this one.

Midnight in Paris
Synopsis: Gil and Inez travel to Paris as a tag-along vacation on her parents'
business trip. Gil is a successful Hollywood writer but is struggling on
his first novel. He falls in love with the city and thinks they should
move there after they get married, but Inez does not share his romantic
notions of the city or the idea that the 1920s was the golden age. When
Inez goes off dancing with her friends, Gil takes a walk at midnight and
discovers what could be the ultimate source of inspiration for writing.
Gil's daily walks at midnight in Paris could take him closer to the
heart of the city but further from the woman he's about to marry.
Hugo

Set in 1930s Paris, an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station
is wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton.
Design: BLT Associates, you remember them?!
What can I say other than DID YOU KNOW THAT THIS MOVIE IS IN 3-D!! Since Avatar arrived in our cinemas movie posters have undergone a mini revolution in how they depict a 3-D movie via a 2-D medium, the resulting solution is, make sure that there is something protruding in the image,

The Help

to write a book detailing the African-American maid's point of view on
the white families for which they work, and the hardships they go
through on a daily basis.
Design: Ignition Print who were in the running last year with Inception.
When I first saw this poster, the first question that entered my head was "What is the colour all about?" Yellow and purple don't immediately pop into my head as a colour palette reflecting the American Black Civil Rights Movement.

The Descendants

Design: The design for the one sheet was done by Mojo who were listed last year with their poster for 'The Kids are Alright.'
The poster shows George Clooney under the protection of red parasol, staring thoughtfully over his shoulder at his two daughters who are playing on a beach with palm trees. On Georges finger we see a Photoshopped enhanced wedding ring, but no wife in shot,

The Artist
The Artist. directed by Michel Hazanavicius |
Hollywood, 1927: As silent movie star George Valentin wonders if the arrival of talking pictures will cause him to fade into oblivion, he sparks with Peppy Miller, a young dancer set for a big break.
Design:
The design is created by Couramiaud / Laurent Lufroy, they have created posters for Jeanne D'Arc, Leon and Les Visiteurs.
I remember the first time I saw this poster, it stopped me in my tracks, not because it was breathtakingly beautiful but because it was so 'clean', it wasn't overloaded with logos, credits or quotes, it simply put the focus on the the two stars and the movies name.
