Another task completed in style through Wreckamovie - Big thanks go to Michi Schubert for giving us this excellent poster, which can currently be seen all over the town of Emden - in awesome A2 photo print quality!
We sure hope to have the chance to work with Michi in the future; he is currently designing some artwork for our follow-up project. Of course respect is also due for everyone else who contributed stuff, your participation has been a great motiviation and your work is the pride of our facebook page! An extra mention has to go to Jani whos designs are still hanging in one of Germany's biggest post houses and continue to draw a lot of attention :D
Wreck On, Everyone!
Hey you Design Wizards out there,
Snowblind is supposed to be completed in a few weeks so it's time to get some important things done - Like deciding on a logo.
As a placeholder we used a more futuristic-looking design so far, as Snowblind is set in a post-apocalyptic, distant future. In the meantime we realised that it's western setting is more prominent so to get the audience in the right mood, a western-themed logo would be more suitable.
In the "poster" task, wreckerette Carlotta Hirschhugel submitted a design that probably goes in the right direction - maybe it's a little too-straight western though. On the other hand, it might be better to send a defined message with the logo than a vague idea ;-)
Another thing we already discussed is the Snowflake in the "O". I think it's redundant to have piece of snow in the word "snow" - so maybe we could use something else there, for example a Sheriff's star as Kris S. suggested.
So let your imagination run wild like in South Park Episode 11/11, submit your thoughts, ideas and design and might well end up using your artwork for all Snowblind merchandise ;P
I just came across a poster for this totally awesome B-Movie that scared the sh!t out of me when I was a kid :D The design is so spot-on it really blows your mind. Especially the creative use of typesetting at the bottom... Solid gold! :D
Here's four rather high-res shots of the gun, hopefully with matching light ;-)
Of course the writing on the gun has to be removed as it reveals it is just a airsoft toy ;P
... unfortunately not in the Westworld-style, but nevertheless, i managed to do some further works on the poster/logo-front. I made an update of my first shot, trying to keep close on some of the suggestions that were made here, and another one that MAYBE can cope with the desired grindhouse-style. At least, it has paint splashes in it ...
Hope you guys like it, let me know if there is more to do. I loved doing these!
hey you glorious poster wreckers.
i found some usefull gun-pix for your poster work. hope this helps a little.
regards,

here is the best I could find now. One day searching in these photo folders is gonna kill me :-(
Hi Michael.
absolute outstanding!!!
i love the font, i love the color-scheme, the light oilpaint look... the snow and light effects...
great work! a poster or dvd cover with this high quality look would be a dream.
so all my ideas are just to bring this great art closer to the film we are making.
one thing that confused me in you artwork is the governor (the guy with the sword - the bad guy) he seems a little lost down there.
i made this little reference picture out of yours... its just a rough sketch... so dont take it to serous...
its just to give the idea of showing the 3 "good" guys in the front and the bad guy somehow behind or above them... like a dark shadow who controls everything in our snowblind world...
my intention was to have his face made up of the snow or clouds...
i like the idea of having the lead woman in the middle of the good guys... because in our story she is standing between the two man literally...
i think this is somehow what kalle meant by giving the starwars poster as a refernce... the overall look can be cool and modern but the placing of the people should be "classical"
i added some guns too... just to give little more action/western feeling... we would love to show some shiny guns... and at least i think its important that clayton (the young man) has a gun... because he is a notorious gunman right from the beginning of the movie.
i tried some scratches and some dirt on the textlayer and i like the idea to have it almost white but with some cracks and rust on the corners but without loosing some shiny parts and the light effects.
in the snowblind world we have this combination too... the white snow and old rusty metal... like everything is about 60-80 years old.
i hope this helps a bit to show what we are hoping for. we would be pleased to see some more of your great work. maybe you have some other great ideas to tut in there. i completely trust in your skills.
i talk to kalle if we could upload a few more pictures to work with.
ps... what font is it you used? we would love to use it for the final film too.
thank you so much so far for taking part in our project.
cheers, bastian
Hi there,
finally i found the time to do some graphics for this great project. I always wanted to do a poster, and yes, this is more a poster and less a logo-design ... but hey, it was fun doing it, and actually it HAS some kind of movie-name-logo in it. In my opinion, a logo like we see it on "StarWars" doesn't quite fit into this post-apocalyptic-western-world, but otherwise it has to BLAM! So, here is what i did - let me know what you think!
More to come, if you want ...
