THE BLIND DATE

This piece was the product of working in a team of three to create a poster for GCU’s 2023 Film Festival. Our group had been assigned a film titled, “The Blind Date”. A comedy with a premise involving a teen who gets set-up on a quite literal blind date with a blind girl.

The general premise alone made me want to create a poster involving emphasis on the literal term, hence why I went for something involving a scribble above the girl’s eyes. The same scribble was then added over the boy’s mouth in the poster as shown to showoff how badly he was at communicating with her. My decision alone was the one we decided to go with, and from then on it was a process of deciding what seemed fitting for a poster involving an awkward, romantic date between two people.

Above you can see my partners contribution to the project involving a variety of sketches as well as their first drafts on the left of what the poster could have ultimately ended up looking like. We bounced a few ideas back and forth but in the end I was happy to push my own idea even further to make it into a full concept which eventually was picked to be the official poster for the film itself.
