My One & Only
Done in: 2008 / Customer: “My One & Only” Film / Task: Graphic Design within scenes.
What the client needed
Graphics for film is not only about advertising and logos. More than anything it is about items that are seen during scenes, either as background, or as important “hero” items the camera pauses upon. The film My One and Only is a 2009 comedy-drama loosely based on a story about George Hamilton’s early life on the road with his mother and brother, featuring anecdotes that Hamilton told to producers Robert Kosberg and Merv Griffin. It starred Logan Lerman and Renée Zellweger and was filmed in Maryland.
My part of the project
Most film graphics work involves signage, photos and and faux products or brands, and that was certainly the case here. In this case, the movie was set in 1953 and the look and feel of all my work for it reflects either that, or in many cases, an earlier period. Because when you think about it, not everything in the ’50s looked like it was designed the ’50s. Movies are not theme parks.
