Design

Having decided to design a film poster for myself to decorate the ol’ pad, I finally settled on one of the greatest films in the history of cinema: John Huston’s The Maltese Falcon. Not only a personal favourite and bona fide classic, but it’s also one that hasn’t been done to death by designers the world over, a la Star Wars or Blade Runner. Plus it would really tie the room together.

To encourage experimental and creative thought, we have devised a monthly "Social Competition". The competition is internal but get involved if you fancy it, once a month a tea*m member will devise a poster theme which we will then explore and each create a poster based on any discipline of design the designer fancies.

These A2 posters will then be available to win to the 5 randomly selected follows who tweet with a hashtag which will be available from our blog. It will also be available to the 5 Facebook fans that ‘like’ the designs.

We owe a vast amount of what we do to the quality of the education we received whilst we were studying at art college, no matter what people may say it gives any designer a great base for which to start their career. However, you still need some working experience to get you to that first job.

From now on Creativitea* pledge that we will do more to help students and graduates build the CV and portfolio by offering them our new student outreach program.

Marchon is latest client to be added to the growing portfolio of Creativitea.
