Hardest job in the world
Working for my mate Gregor is always a pleasure. We’ve had projects for years now and we’ve been friends since our youth. I always liked his movies and he always liked my designs. A lot of fun for the both of us.
But his latest project “St.Christophorus: Roadkill” really became hard work! It is a satirical horror short. That’s where the problem starts. The design needs to shbow some of that bloody stuff, but still needs to leave a little smile on the viewer’s face.
I ended up making almost 40 layouts including several different version of several different ideas.
The following steps are showing the process:
STEP 1. First basic ideas, different version of typefaces.
STEP 2. A new layout idea making a possible series of three.
STEP 3. Revising the “T-shirt” idea from the first step. Trying different typeface including hand-made typography.
STEP 4. A new idea after brainstorming with the director.
STEP 5. Twor new ideas.
STEP 6. New ideas and version of older layouts, different typefaces.
FINALLY: the final version with teaser poster (right)

Another idea: the limited edition T-shirt:
