This set of designs is for a hypothetical companion film to the “Pitchfork Music Festival”; held every year in Chicago.
At first view, the tile of “Film Free” may be antithetical to a film festival. The term “Film Free” came about after I wrote a brief idea of a film movement being free from big money, Hollywood, and free from constraints. Pitchfork’s music choices are an eclectic mix of smaller musical acts as well as larger, alternative acts and I wanted the movie choices to reflect that. I avoided design choices that might make the festival feel “corporate” and wanted to approach it as something that could be advertised in a more guerilla sort of way.
