Rachel Cannings : ‘The Nickel Hopper’ Film Poster

Rachel created this poster in response to a brief to make a digital film poster for a film festival being held at her university.

She was tasked to illustrate a selection of short, silent films starring Mabel Normand. She chose to focus on ‘The Nickel Hopper’ as it was the most visually rich of the films.

After making dozens of loose ink sketches she edited them in Adobe Photoshop to evoke a screenprint.

Sunnu Rebecca Choi : Make it make non/sense

Sunnu came across the phrase ‘Colorless green ideas sleep furiously’ by Noam Chomsky, which is nonsensical, but grammatically correct.

She was inspired to create a card game which allows the audience to create their own sensical or nonsensical sentences.

The game includes 510 word cards (nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives and conjunctions). Each card has an illustration that represents the meaning of the word for better understanding.
