Artist Statement:
The key art design for the 18th annual Sunscreen Film Festival merited a “pop of color,” breaking from previous years strict adherence to the brand’s signature colors. At Sunscreen, diversity is extremely important, so what better way to illustrate our belief in improving the practice and quality of including everyone irrespective of different social, ethnic, gender, or sexual orientation, but through a rebellious color palette.
This year, we’re turning things on its head! The use of the vintage, central image, “Camera Head” reaches way back to yesterday, dusting off old dogmas and boldly communicating, seeing, and understanding everyone’s point-of-view. The eye in the camera’s lens is the artist’s attempt to illustrate that “we see you” and “we get you.” Sunscreen loves you for who and what you are!
Through the use of lively typography, ripping through the lower-half of the design, the artist expresses the film festival’s true independence - 18-years – a number that represents new beginnings and success.
