Lost & Found in Cleveland
2023
As the graphic designer on the movie Lost & Found in Cleveland, I had the incredible opportunity to contribute to the authenticity and realism of the film. From January to March of 2023, I immersed myself in the world of this captivating story. One of my main responsibilities was creating fake trade-show branding and print materials, including banners, lanyards, posters, and more. These pieces not only enhanced the visual aesthetics but also added depth to the narrative by making the film's setting feel genuine. I utilized my creativity to design and create props such as menus, banners, badges, labels, and even a calendar. Additionally, I applied graphics to various props, ensuring consistency and attention to detail in every scene. I also had the honor of art directing a small photoshoot, capturing the essence of the character and the vision of the directors. These efforts were all aimed at immersing the audience in the story, allowing them to suspend disbelief and truly experience the movie's reality.
