WOULD YOU LOVE ME? POSTER

Role: Illustration & Movie Poster Design

The Brief

Would You Love Me? is a short-film poster project inspired by the visual language of 15th-century tarot cards. The goal was to create an illustrated composition that captured the film's narrative through a blend of historical art references, surreal imagery, and expressive character design.

Problem

How could a contemporary short film be represented through an art form rooted in historical symbolism? The challenge was to balance the intricate, structured aesthetic of traditional tarot illustrations with the unusual imagery and narrative elements of the film.

Design Intent

I drew inspiration from 15th-century tarot artwork, using its detailed illustration style as the foundation for the composition. Two characters are separated by a twisting, animated wall of worms, introducing a surreal element that references the film's plot while creating visual tension between the figures.

Insight

Historical art forms can provide a compelling framework for telling contemporary stories. By combining the symbolism and intricacy of tarot imagery with surreal narrative elements, I explored how a familiar visual tradition could be reinterpreted to communicate something unexpected.

Outcome

An illustrated movie poster that merges historical tarot-inspired aesthetics with surreal storytelling. The project allowed me to explore detailed character illustration, unusual forms, and the relationship between visual symbolism and narrative, creating a composition that connects the film's story to its promotional artwork.
