photographic? illustrative? approach to re-branding/designing the 'LIFE' magazine, for the new published editions that could be sold in the UK. 




BOOK JACKETS (in box set form) & in store promotion & film poster to support available merchandise


I have chosen to produce a box set of books containing all converted film-book editions by Danny Boyle. 
- 127 Hours
- Slumdog Millionaire
- The Beach 
- 28 Days Later
- A Life Less Ordinary 


I want to explore the print processes within the prints (book jackets, posters, other promotional prints). My range will be the series of Danny Boyle films in book format (packaged as a box set as well). I want to explore using spot varnish, prints that really show quality. 


IDEAS for imagery


127 HOURS 
- egg timer, water bottle & mouth with drip, blunt knife


SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE
- optional choices in 'who wants to be a millionaire' form'

THE BEACH

- shark bite/snorkelling gear
- big bag of rice
