Noir Frames
Noir Frames is a self-initiated graphic-design project exploring how an independent film festival can create a distinctive identity without relying on familiar cinema cliches. The campaign uses cropped human expressions, architectural shadows, fragmented frames, dramatic light, monochrome imagery, and restrained red accents across posters, tickets, passes, schedules, cinema screens, social media, and outdoor advertising.

- Create curiosity and a premium cultural tone
- Support multiple film categories
- Work across print, digital, outdoor, and event formats

Visual Direction
The system is built around unresolved fragments: cropped expressions, architectural shadows, red signal accents, thin editorial rules, vertical labels, deep black fields, and frame-within-frame structures.
