For the experimental neo-noir Cold Blow Lane, I was tasked with designing a poster that showcased leads Susan Lynch and Grace Chilton. The process involved deep collaboration with the film's director and producers, evolving through several creative stages—from conceptual teasers to the final key art—to visually capture the film's unique mood and narrative tension.

The poster served as the defining visual identity for the film throughout its successful festival run.
Following on from the initial rounds, I suggested to the client that the design could be deliberately cryptic and thought-provoking, much like the film. The final poster is truly enigmatic, and immediately leads viewers to try and decipher it. Can you work out what the images are?
