The finished poster for The Shining. I’ve made the background pattern (from the floor of the hotel) a bit bigger and Jack’s face less obvious. You now have to stand back to see his face when it’s printed A1.
Inspired by the fantastic film posters by Olly Moss.
Yours Truly on The Great Discontent
I am honored and humbled to joint the ranks of interviewees on The Great Discontent, which is quickly climbing the charts as one of the premiere sites to visit among the design community. Ryan and Tina Essmaker made me feel at home during the interview and I had a blast watching the design come together.
Speaking of design, I cannot say enough nice things about the design of TGD. I love how it focuses solely on the content, the asides and callouts are handled with care, and the large hero shot at the top of each interview always beckons me in. So inspiring!

Verhuizing
Zoals jullie waarschijnlijk al hebben gemerkt gebeurt er momenteel niets op mijn blog. Dit gaat gelukkig snel weer veranderen. Ik ben namelijk bezig met het opzetten van een nieuwe site. Zodra die klaar is laat ik jullie dat weten!

Liefs, Marja
