This group work was life and time about Alfred Hitchcock. The final work will be a package and a group of posters. It contains such a information about Alfred Hitchcock's films, life, phobias, cameos, collaborators etc. I made two information designs 'All the Cameos of Hitchcock' and 'Favourite Collaborators of Hitchcock' as my parts of this task.

During this work, I researched lots of information about Alfred Hitchcock and watched some his films. By the time, I was really interested in appearing himself in his film as a cameo. Secondly, He worked with many famous people, actors, actresses, composers and designer. One of his collaborators was Saul Bass, who was one of the greatest designers, worked title and sequence for so many Hitchcock’s films. That is why I decided to design about cameos and collaborators.

I’d got massive impression from his skill of using voyeurism through his films such as Psycho, Rear Window and Vertigo. (It made me to bought some his DVD collection.) Because of this I applied a keyhole in the middle of Cameos information design and put Hitchcock’s eye behind the keyhole as he looks at  his cameo scenes himself as a voyeur. Actually, I had made the keyhole bigger than finished one with his whole face but my tutor advised me to change it smaller and thinner with showing only his eye, I did and it is much better, it has more reality.

It's made by A1 size and I applied circle lines (it can be work like a spiral effect) around the diagram respectively so that it makes attention and a bit dizzy to viewer. The reason why I used this effect, we can recognise that Hitchcock was very good at using this kind of effect through his film Vertigo. That effect designed by Sail Bass so I used circle and spiral shape for my those works. I believe that it looks so cool and dizzy.
