In the script, one of the girls buys a packet of cigarettes so I had to come up with a fake Marlboro brand. I scanned in one of the cigarette packets I would be covering and drew my design on top of it.
The phrase 'Veni, Vidi, Vici' means 'I came, I saw, I conquered' in Latin. So when I was coming up with my own logo I altered it to 'Vendi, Vedi, Mouri' which in Italian means 'You sell, You see, You Die'. This was mostly an accident as I'm teaching myself Italian at the moment and the words got muddled up in my head. But I thought it was funny and no one would even see it anyway.
Below on the left is my flattened cigarette packet design, in the middle my design printed and assembled on the packet, and on the right is my logo.
FUEL CANISTER
Above is a moodboard of fuel warning symbols and labels I researched before making my own. These were mostly sourced from Google Images and Pinterest.
Below is my diesel fuel oil label. As these warning signs are a standardised thing I didn't see any reason to change the pre-existing one from above on the right. I remade it so that it wouldn't be blurry when printed large for the canister. I also changed which symbols I used at the bottom but other than that they're almost identical. The group was very happy with it when I showed it to them.
CHOCOLATE PACKET
Mathilda (Production Designer from LCC) sent me these two screenshots of chocolate labels. She wanted it to be a circle like the one on the left in the colour tones of the one on the right.
Using this brief I made the logo below. Jack Pratt helped me add texture to make the logo look more like the above image on the right. I'm very pleased with how this turned out.
BEER LABEL
Mathilda wanted a beer label like the Beck's logo. To avoid copyright I altered the text and colours but kept the basic shapes so that it was still recognisably similar.
BOOK COVER
In the script, one of the characters picks up a copy of The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. As there are publication copyright laws I had to remake a cover for the book. I took preexisting covers of the book and used the images from those to create this version. I copied the blurb from the internet as there would be no focus on this and what it said wasn't important. I'm pleased with how this turned out after multiple attempts printing (I had issues with it being too dark and then forgetting text on the spine, it wasn't my day).
POSTERS
I ended up making two posters, a club poster and a burlesque poster that would go in the apartment set. For the club poster, I took inspiration from a poster for a local club at home. I used the colours that Mathilda had said she wanted and the same composition as the one below (left). I had some difficulty with making the club posters as Mathilda would keep changing her mind about the colours she liked also instead of messaging me she was would individually contact a friend of mine who was also doing the graphics leaving me out of the look and a little confused. Luckily my friend would keep me updated, but this was a little frustrating at times.

Mathilda wanted the burlesque poster to be a Moulin Rouge poster with the colours predominantly being yellow and pink. Below is my inspiration for the poster. The bottom two photos are from a Toulouse Lautrec exhibition I had been to in Sicily over the summer. His style was what I had in mind and would have been perfect for this poster. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to learn how to print using lithography but it's something I'd like to learn in the future.
Below on the left is a scan of my composition drawing that I proposed to Mathilda she gave me the go-ahead to produce the poster on the right.
GRAPHICS DRESSED ON SET
Below are some photos from the club location set dressed with the graphics we made. Photos were taken by the film and art department.
