4DX

4DX is a curated publication that was made for my Publication Design class. We had almost complete creative freedom and I decided to make a magazine around film cinematography. I wanted for the spread to feel like watching the movie so I had to try and translate 3-dimensional effects into a 2-D format. I used frames from certain scenes to mimic the actual movement and overlayed images on top of each other. The typography accents the images by mocking this motion. This gives the publication a distinct feel as a magazine that lets the cinematography speak for itself but doesn't just take from the film.

Process

I started with the article instead of the overall branding to give me a focus and a place to draw inspiration from. Sketches of scenes from the film I was able to find scenes that stuck out to me from a cinematography point of view. This would lead me to notice the use of motion in the film and from there I focus of mimicking the motion.

Another idea was to use elements from the film as graphics in the article. However this never felt like it had a purpose. Instead I replaced those graphics with text. Allow me to completely showcase the film through the text.

When it came to the masthead I was trying again to simulate that motion. However this was starting to become a motion publication instead of a cinematography publication. So i opted for a masthead that was able compatable with all aspects of cinema.
