1st place in the State of the Art Cinema 'design a movie poster' competition.

I won the State of the Art Cinema 'design a movie poster' competition. I am overjoyed and excited to be offered a design role for an upcoming film release from Metrodome Distribution. It's an opportunity I have been working towards for over 4 years and a chance for me to further my career into the film industry. Here is the link to the project: www.yuyanda.cgsociety.org/portfolio/Frances-Ha-poster-art

The award was for a quad poster design created for new wave indie comedy Frances Ha starring Greta Gerwig and directed by Noah Baumbach. It's not the first film poster based competition I have won but possibly the most significant one so far. In 2009 I won Best Poster in the Odeon Short Film Competition.

Moon Rats... They're here! T-shirts, hoodies and vests from outer space on Redbubble

After a brief conversation with my friend Jason Ng, who told me about his new designer clothing brand u9ly Avenue I told him about these designs and how I thought they would make cool T-shirts. I used the assets from a project I did with London Bus-Tops over the London 2012 Olympic Games, check out the Behance project I'm hoping we'll be able to work together in the future. The designs are now available to buy on my Redbubble & Society6 stores Yuyanda's Blog of Art and Design, Animation and Illustration. 2020. All Rights Reserved.

The book will feature art from new and upcoming artists from around the world and will be avaliable to buy online. More info can be found here http://www.dragonbrusher.com/

ChitChatClick's Sharnie character design.

I was recently commissioned to create promotional poster material for a student film from Bournemouth University (UK) called ChitChatClick. The character design shows how the actors real likeness is captured through modern 3D animated 'cartoon' features. I also looked at Jason Brooks 'Fashionista' drawings for style and exaggeration. I gave her a contemporary high street sense of fashion referencing brands from H&M to NEXT to Debenhams which best reflected Sharnie's personality. Mobile phones play an integral role in the screenplay so a level of interaction with the accessory was critical, referencing Apple's IPhone for an authentic look. The story revolves around four modern women who communicate via mobile but when they finally meet face to face, all is not as it seems and things turn for the worse! Its short but sweet. Pencil media on 140gsm paper with subtle brush work. Mechanical Pencils. A4 light box. Rulers. Erasers.
