For this initiation project to graphic design, the aim was to identify the universe of a director and translate it into a brochure presenting a film festival based on their works. I chose to explore parts of Pedro Almodovar's filmography.

 

A major challenge in this project was to organize and sort through all the information. 

 

To solve it, I first built a restricted yet highly contrasted chromatic palette. Then I chose to elaborate with - among others - strong female figures representative of P. Almodovar's succeeding each other in similar fashion as the dramatic threads in his films.

 

For typography I chose a simple and elegant font (Aileron Light), with soft curves and light lines. I highlighted the central focus, the actors -common thread of the project-, with a bolder font. 

The text is aligned on the left in order to push the gaze to the right, in the direction of reading.

 

The greatest parts of this project therefore remains organizing and sorting the information through limited space while keeping a strong identity.
