City College of San Francisco Cinema Department

Brief & Goal

  • Evoke a sense of whimsical unease around the “playful dystopia” theme

  • Stand out in print around campus and in digital promos

  • Reflect the festival’s creative spirit and venue

My Solution

Drawing inspiration from classic Godzilla and vintage sci-fi posters, I crafted a high-contrast illustration of a cheeky creature looming over a stylized cityscape. Dynamic, retro-inspired typography guides viewers through festival details, while a limited palette of acid green and bright red ensures both playfulness and legibility. The result is a cohesive, memorable visual that invites film enthusiasts to dive into the festival’s quirky lineup.
