Poster Design Brief

Our Magic is a documentary film about the art of magic featuring interviews with thirty of today’s most respected thinkers, performers and creators.

The purpose of the film is to take the audience beyond the cliché’s to find an art form filled with artistic thinking, complex ideas, countless means of expression, inspiration and a rich, important history that has played an essential role in human development.

The film has been made on a shoestring budget but to a very high standard and we now need artwork and a 27"x40" poster (DVD cover/VOD image) to help us promote the movie, attract an audience and serve as the perfect introduction to our film.

Magic is full of cliché - from rabbits in hats to girls in boxes but the film is more about the reality of magic as an art form, about the community of magicians and way magic has helped to inspire innovation and shape the world. There is a review on boingboing.net that gives a good idea of what the film is about here: http://boingboing.net/2014/10/28/our-magic-a-documentary-about.html

You may be inspired by the top image (on the Boing Boing page) of “The Turk” (a famous chess-playing automaton), which directly inspired Charles Babbage to develop the difference engine, which is the beginning of the computer age. Many images of The Turk exist online for further inspiration.

You might have a brilliant idea to use the cliche’s in a witty or inventive way that suggests the depth and feeling of the documentary. You might have an idea for a powerful, simple design that attracts greater interest from the public or which somehow says “magic” is a creative way.

This is a traditional film poster - please leave room for film credits at the bottom of the poster. Entering "documentary posters" into Google Images will reveal the variety of great designs that exist in this field.

The titel of the film is "OUR MAGIC" and the subtitle is "REAL SECRETS. NO TRICKS."

The film is presented by CONCAM PRODUCTIONS and DAN AND DAVE INDUSTRIES. It is A FILM BY R. PAUL WILSON. Incorporate these credits if you want to.

There is a whole world of inspiration for creative minds to draw from and I’m excited to see what this process brings to the table. Questions, further guidelines etc are all welcome.
