Poster gallery - S I N F I E L D . D O T . O R G

Here are all my film poster designs collected in one place. Also, newer posters will appear here sooner than they appear in the portfolio proper. Enjoy.

Released: April 2007 A fascinating portrait of the enigmatic "musician's musician" Scott Walker. Here I tried to suggest the two faces of Scott Walker - the erstwhile easy-listening crooner, and the elusive vanguard of the edge of the avant-garde envelope.

Released: October 2006 Winner of many awards including the Cannes Jury Prize, it was a real honour to work on this harrowing debut from Andrea Arnold. The idea of using this silhouette image, and the surveillance camera incorporated into the title came fairly early on, and it was a matter of fine-tuning the look of the poster to get to this point.

Released: May 2006 A fantastic British film exploring interracial relationships and the severe problems that prejudice can cause in families of all ethnicities. I'm very pleased with this - the colours are bold and I'm glad the client went with the running men - the reversed-out plus sign I think is a good metaphor for the dark heart of racial intolerance. For more info, the film has a myspace page .

Released: December 2005 A steamy, grimy love-triangle flick based in Brazil. I loved this film and really went to town on the visuals, did some of my best work I think, especially as at the time I'd just found out I was going to be a father, and we were planning a massive life change. Anyway, I'm pleased with the outcome and apparently the film did well. Note the beautiful fonts by Eduardo Recife.

Released: June 2005 An interesting indie film exploring the myths and prejudices surrounding immigrants in Britain. There was a very small budget for this so we kept it as simple and striking as possible.
Client: Swipe Films

Released: November 2004 A powerful story of life in small town Wales. The director's inspiration came from a particular community near Swansea where people live essentially an urban existence on the edge of outstanding natural beauty, and how this reflects in their own lives; how they make the choices which turn their lives one way or the other.

Released: September 2004 A fascinating futuristic noir, this film didn't rely on special effects, but instead was a film of ideas, many of them chillingly plausible.

Released: July 2004 One of my personal favourites. This film is the tale of an Iranian goatherder who wishes for a life outside his village. I love the dignity of the still, and I have tried to keep the rest as simple as possible.
Client: Barian Entertainment

Released: April 2004 A harrowing poster for a harrowing film. This documentary charts a bus hijack in Brazil, the horrifying drama of which was captured by television cameras over the course of one afternoon. Since the image was a screen grab from TV, the resolution was very low, but we used this to our advantage, to give the poster the feel of a documentary. Also, much touchup work had to be done to remove extraneous objects from both within and outside the bus.

Released: Oct 2003 This is a comedy romance where italian gangsters crash into the world of a Scottish fish-and-chip-shop owner, with a penchant for fine ice cream. There were so many angles to this film, and we tried to cover them all, and still make it eye-catching.
Client: Bard Entertainments

Released: June 2003 A luscious yet tragic film from New Zealand about a young teenage girl growing up before her time. This poster is all about her face, the glint in her eye, and the forbidden drink she is taking.

Released: Sep 2002A complex highly-layered design, using the metaphor of an acid tab sheet - a useful device for depicting the varied characters in this ensemble piece.

Released: Mar 2002Here the redness and the tabloid-style banner across the top hints at menace present in the title of the film.
