GOOD BYE, LENIN!

Hi Design People, I have a lot of catching up to do, tons of work to show.

Below is a design project I did back in college. We designed all the collateral associated with a movie. We started with the movie poster, then soundtrack, then collateral box and assorted pieces of collateral. The movie that I redesigned was the German movie, Good Bye, Lenin! Description below from imdb.com:

"East Germany, the year 1989: A young man protests against the regime. His mother watches the police arresting him and suffers a heart attack and falls into a coma. Some months later, the GDR does not exist anymore and the mother awakes. Since she has to avoid every excitement, the son tries to set up the GDR again for her in their flat. But the world has changed a lot... Written by Benjamin Stello"

Movie Poster:


The poster is completely sown, silkscreen, and written out by hand. I used the image of clothing to show how they covered up things, poorly sowing together lies to hide the truth from their mother.

Soundtrack:




I used the image of the one thing that they never could find to cover up the new democratic germany…Spreewald Pickles. I juxtaposed the Pickles with images from the movie, as well as tradtional communist imagery and pictures from the real DDR.

Collateral Kit:

Collateral Kit made from wood, textured and grafettied to look like a piece of the Berlin wall. Piece inside included soundtrack, Spreewald Pickles, a bottle of coke, and a t-shirt with patch sown on.
