Continuing this weeks Cannes theme. Many, many moons ago (2002), we designed the UK theatrical posters for the release of Oshii Mamoru’s Avalon. To this day one of our fondest Cannes memories was attending the launch party for the film which was held in the incredible Pierre Cardin ‘Bubble’ House. Just wish I hadn’t drunk so much on the night and could remember it more clearly! More pix and background info on the house here.
We’ve illustrated this posters for the UK launch of Green Mark Vodka this week. Although new to the UK, Green Mark has long been the No.1 Vodka brand in Russia, and being partial to a drop or two we were of course delighted to be involved. A £2m marketing campaign kicks off this week so hopefully a few of these will be out on the streets soon.
This week we’re off on our annual trip to the Cannes Film Festival. Lot’s of work, lot’s of films, and (inevitably) lots of parties – it’s a tough job…
