A saturated blue poster design for queer short fil about the drag  scene in Geneva Switzerland by graphic designer Cédric Gottet. Moon drag queen / produced by GoldenEgg Productions. The minimal film poster showcase a portrait of a punk Drag queen.

In my work as a designer in the film industry, I’ve had the opportunity to dive into both movie title design and film poster design. For me, these two disciplines are deeply connected. When I’m crafting a title sequence, I’m already thinking about how it will complement the film’s poster and overall visual identity.

I work closely with producers and directors to ensure that the graphic design for the film reflects its tone, genre, and emotional core. The choice of typography, color palette, and layout all play a part in shaping the film’s branding. I believe that title design and poster design are key tools in storytelling, setting the mood and creating a strong first impression.

The more I combine these design elements, the more rewarding the creative process becomes. It's exciting to build a cohesive visual world that flows from the film poster to the on-screen titles and everything in between.

Dans mon travail de designer dans l'industrie cinématographique, j'ai eu l'occasion de me plonger à la fois dans la conception de titres de films et dans la conception d'affiches de films. Pour moi, ces deux disciplines sont étroitement liées. Lorsque je crée une séquence de titres, je réfléchis déjà à la manière dont elle complétera l'affiche du film et son identité visuelle globale.

Je travaille en étroite collaboration avec les producteurs et les réalisateurs afin de m'assurer que le graphisme du film reflète son ton, son genre et son essence émotionnelle. Le choix de la typographie, de la palette de couleurs et de la mise en page joue un rôle important dans la création de l'image de marque du film. Je pense que la conception des titres et des affiches est un outil essentiel pour raconter une histoire, créer une ambiance et donner une première impression forte.

Plus je combine ces éléments de conception, plus le processus créatif devient gratifiant. C'est passionnant de construire un univers visuel cohérent qui s'étend de l'affiche du film aux titres à l'écran, en passant par tout ce qui se trouve entre les deux.

In meiner Arbeit als Designer in der Filmbranche habe ich die Möglichkeit, sowohl ins Filmtitel-Design als auch in die Gestaltung von Filmplakaten einzutauchen. Für mich sind diese beiden Bereiche eng miteinander verbunden. Wenn ich eine Titelsequenz entwickle, denke ich gleichzeitig darüber nach, wie sie sich mit dem Plakat und der visuellen Identität des Films ergänzt.

Ich arbeite eng mit Produzent:innen und Regisseur:innen zusammen, um sicherzustellen, dass das Grafikdesign den Ton, das Genre und die emotionale Essenz des Films widerspiegelt. Die Wahl von Typografie, Farbwelt und Layout spielt dabei eine zentrale Rolle im Film-Branding. Ich sehe Titel-Design und Plakatgestaltung als zentrale Werkzeuge, um visuell zu erzählen und den ersten Eindruck eines Films zu formen.

Je mehr ich diese beiden Designbereiche kombiniere, desto mehr Freude macht mir der kreative Prozess. Es ist spannend, eine visuelle Welt zu erschaffen, die sich vom Filmplakat bis zu den On-Screen-Titeln konsequent durchzieht.
