Degree Show 2025

Film poster for a showing of ‘The Great Silence‘ (1968) directed by Sergio Corbucci.
I wanted to convey the bleak, desolate setting and the sweeping musical score through a minimal composition and colour palette. I used dry-point etching to convey a scene from the film, and used it in a screen-print along with a dual colour font for the film title.
I wanted the poster to have a ‘worn’ look and dotted noise from the original etching around the page. Due to the textured watercolour paper I chose to mimic the texture of snow..The wood type used to make the title was old and some letters had little dents and inconsistencies that made it into the print.
