Zombie Film Festival - Illustration/ Promotion/ Print Brief: Create branding, identity and promotion for the 5th Annual Leeds Zombie Film Festival, hosted at the Cottage Road Cinema in Headingly.
Concept: A reality has been created in which the zombie apocalypse is dawning as a result of Soviet experiments in the 1950’s. The identity is based on illustration of the era along with light hearted copy to set the tone of voice. The purpose of this false reality is to create an interesting and unique story to run alongside the festival itself; a story that could be consistent in every consecutive year, evolve from previous years, or change completely to keep the concept fresh.

Zombie Film Festival - Website design As the website is the first port of call for buying tickets, it has to be engaging, clear and informative. The website conforms to the same visual identity and tone of voice as the rest of the festival, and is designed with a govenment or news website in mind. The website will be cheap to host because the bandwidth usage will remain low as a result of the size of the business.

Zombie Film Festival - Illustration/ Promotion/ Print The 150 x 50mm ticket has been designed as an extension of the festival’s visual identity, taking its style from cinema tickets of the 1950’s and 60’s. Cottage Road cinema itself is the oldest in Leeds and one of the oldest few in the country, helping to reinforce the entire idenity concept.

Zombie Film Festival - Promotional Pack A limited edition pack is designed to be sent to those who buy a zombie film festival ticket. The idea is to give the audeince something else for their money, reinforce the identity through more print design, and ultimately promote the festival further as the included posters are hung by ticket owners. The pack comes in a 135 x 190mm cellophane cover, containing one
ticket, double sided A3 posters of 3 unique designs, 2 illustrated postcards and the 130 x 185mm information booklet “Zombies and You�. All of the products within are printed digitally at low cost for a small run. A batch of 500 will cover the 440 festival capacity and leave remainders in case they are needed.

Zombie Film Festival - Informative Booklet “Zombies and You” is an illustrated information book that further pushes the narrative of the festival. It conforms to the style of 1950’s government information publications about nuclear war, with war replaced by an infectious and ultimately deadly virus. The 32 page booklet is 130 x 185mm and goes into depth regarding the history and beginnings of the zombie
virus in the Soviet Union. It contains 10 completely bespoke illustrations and one working infographic. Because it is printed in the same way as the rest of the promotional prints, it remains low budget and high quality.
