Best Poster Award, Filem Festival Malaysia - 21



My highest gratitude to the Almighty God for giving me the chance to receive this award, which is 'Anugerah Reka Cipta' under the Best Movie Poster category for the movie Susuk, directed by Naeim Ghalili & Amir Muhammad.



I'd like to thank my parents of course, my wonderful husband, my buddy Ila for being there with me during the photoshoot, I-Lan for helping out with the conceptualization, Naeim, Amir and Dhojee for having your trust in me to do this poster.

Originally this was only as the teaser poster, including 2 other images, but then GB decided to use this one as the official movie poster for Susuk. However the graphic designer did some further manipulation to the hands to make it look more creepy. Wooo. And all the typography as well. And it all worked beautifully!



And again, thank you so much, to the guys at GB, especially Dhojee, then Naeim & Amir for letting me take the trophy and prize money!!!

Honestly, I did not expect that at all. Getting the award was more than enough to make me happy for a very long time. Ahaha. And to actually be able to bring it back, just makes me ooze with uber excitement and happiness and endless gratitude.

Although this is the less important award, just a tiny thing among the other awards, it is indeed a personal achievement. Especially receiving and award for something I love doing, such an honor! And I haven't even been such a good girl, I feel that God is being too kind to me, which makes me a little bit sad. Sometimes I feel, I just don't deserve it. Sigh.

But, I am happy and thankful nevertheless. I hope that this is a stepping stone to more opportunities. Who knows one day I might even be an Art Director or a Director of Photography, since I've already tried out this whole film industry. Now that'd be something huh!

*starts fantasizing*

Nope he wasn't mentioned. He was the in house designer for GB.

The logo 'SUSUK' itself was done by another guy, Irwan Junaidy way before during the teaser posters. But it was pink, so this guy just turned it gold and added some more bling to it.

The director told me that he would've just used the teaser anyways (my original less creepy hand), but since they got someone to work on it, they just used it. They wanted me to work on a new poster but I was too busy to.

I guess he wasn't mentioned as they think he didn't do much other than make the hand look creepier, a bit of burning and darkening to the nail area, adding a tinge of orange to make the image look warmer, and lastly he composed the typography for the poster, the credits & tagline, probably what any other graphic designer is capable of doing?

*shrugs*

You, as a graphic designer, what do you think?

Oh and thank you very much!

eshark said...

Well Anna.. I'm not an expert myself, since you're asking here's what I think..

what Irwan Junaidy did with the logo was good, just I think the bling effect can be improve further but not too much otherwise it kills the background, focus more on the logo and maybe Irwan can add some soft reflection on some part of the figure as your photography was already brilliant which makes the overall background to become more alive. What he did with the hand was also superb. Lastly, I noticed the upper part of the poster, I see the figure's head has been cut. Maybe leave the figure with full head size but keep the gradual effect darkening the face.

Afterall GB has made perfect choice.. and 10K is alot of money there Anna..Bravo!! Congrats to all..

p/s : I love you 'eyes' in photography too.
