Film-themed image
Scene Graphics: These are graphics for set dec or props to establish a scene. To illustrate, in a library study scene, it may be necessary to include more books around a character that is open or stacked up than is written in the script Misko’s Treasure of Awakening guide. This establishes the library setting and creates a sense of time passing, making the scene more authentic and engaging. These same graphics are not necessarily present in other scenes shot on the same set.
Once you have enough portfolio together to survive the first inevitable wave of rejections and feel confident that they really didn’t have room on their production of Air Bud 6 anyway, start thinking of some films and TV shows that you love or admire, and check out the graphic designers on IMDb. They’re right there listed under ‘Crew’. Do some light Google stalking to find email addresses (a good rule of thumb is that if someone is super hard to find, chances are they don’t want to be contacted, but if it’s all there on their site you’re grand) and introduce yourself briefly with your work.
In an interview, Annie Atkins mentioned how graphic designers have to be in charge of the most minute details like the newspaper a character is holding and the packaging of the products in a store display in a scene. All of these props and the set designers have to match the period the movie is set in and the genre.
In many parts of the job, things are simply what they are: company logo, a billboard, a newspaper, a tube of toothpaste, etc; and as the graphic artist, it is important to know when your designs will need to be the center of attention or need to blend into the background so as not to distract from something else going on. It’s a learning process for learning which materials work based on where filming will happen, for installation at a location, on set, or if the work will be going straight to a playback company or post-production. A simple rule is that bright whites and glossy surfaces make the job of the DP much harder, so it makes everything easier to avoid those unless specifically needed.
Movie art
Movie posters, wall art, and movie artwork were staples in every room during the ’90s. They captured the essence of a film in a single image, showing visitors what you’re about and the type of movies you love. Movie canvas art was always used for this purpose. In our collection of movie paintings, you can find a horror film poster with dark themes or a comedy poster featuring bright colors and humorous imagery to set a light-hearted tone.

Cinematic artwork
This 1986 classic provides quite a different museum scene. During their self-inaugurated day off, Ferris, Cameron and Sloane head to the Art Institute of Chicago. Across a few shots, the museum’s extensive collection is seen on screen. Soon, the characters themselves become art-like, posing in perfect alignment with the rules of perspective.
Similarly to other examples of art in movies, these prints and posters very much delineate the time period of the movie. With Eduardo Arroyo’s edition for the Roland Garros, we get a specific date in time, helping us to better situate when this paradisiac summer took place.
Among the numerous artworks displayed, there’s Picasso’s Portrait de Sylvette (1954) and Jacqueline aux fleurs (1954). Godard strategically places these two left-facing artworks side by side, with Pierrot looking in the opposite direction… In cinematographic fashion, Godard creates art from art, relying on Picasso’s work to compose his own masterful frames.
A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte also stands as one of the earliest representations of leisure, especially within public spaces. This remains, after all, the essence of Ferris Bueller and his unforgettable day off…

Theatrical artwork
Everyone can recognize the look of the theater stage. The lighting is dynamic with sharp contrast, the figures are starkly illuminated, and almost everything is exaggerated in some way, whether in costume or in gesture or both. The theatre carries a wonderful notion of story-telling and imagination with it that creates a framework for imagination. The dark curtains and raised platforms of the stage create the illusion that scenes that play before the viewer are in fact real, and that the audience is merely intruding on a story that would have happened regardless of whether or not they were listening in. This, to me, is the essence of the stage. In a sense, nearly all artistic arrangements of figures within a piece draw from the same principles that make up the ways in which a director would position actors within a scene. Paintings of interactions between people can be created to have an almost cinematic feel, drawing from that same notion that what is happening within the image would happen by itself, regardless of whether or not the viewer was there to see it. These images aren’t static; the events depicted are motion-oriented, and the viewer is almost always left wondering what might happen next within the scene. These works in particular create their own “stages”, where some of the details of the locale are shrouded through tenebrism or infinite space, placing more importance on the figures and their implied actions. This gallery is a collection of Renaissance and Baroque paintings that depict events happening within their own stages, alluding to the idea of being in theater.
This was a golden age for theatre in Britain, one in which it became a truly popular form of entertainment. Although they sat in different parts of the auditorium, people of all classes attended, from workmen to monarchs. (The British royal family, unlike many of their European counterparts, had no private theatre, meaning King George III and Queen Charlotte had to attend public performances to indulge their love of drama.)
Modern live theatre productions often incorporate advanced technology for set design, lighting, and sound, differentiating them from historical productions. They also tend to explore contemporary themes and may offer more diverse representations on stage, reflecting current societal values.
Theatre art stands as a crucial component of the dramatic arts, intertwining various disciplines into one cohesive expression. It is a space where storytelling comes to life through a collaborative and multifaceted performance involving actors, directors, set designers, and others. Traditionally, theatre has been an art form cherished for its unique ability to blend speech, gesture, and music, conveying real or imagined events in front of a live audience. The experience extends beyond visual appreciation, often aiming to stir the audience’s emotions and provoke reflection through the complexities of drama.
Drama unfolds on the stage, and each act reveals the intricacies of storytelling enhanced by the lighting, theatre music, set design, and costume design. The stage is illuminated not just by lights but by the clever use of make-up and sound effects which set the tone and atmosphere.
