Fantastic Planet Media Expansion
Overview
As part of my coursework at Georgia Tech, I was tasked with reimagining promotional materials for a film from the Criterion Collection—a series of influential classic and contemporary films. I chose Fantastic Planet (La Planète Sauvage), a 1973 French animated science fiction film known for its surreal visuals and minimal original promotional media. To engage a modern audience, I created three original design assets: a poster design and a conceptual sticker pack. These pieces were designed to celebrate the film’s unique visual identity while reinterpreting it through a contemporary creative lens.
My contributions included:
Researched the film’s themes and aesthetic to guide design decisions across all assets.
Illustrated three custom elements in Procreate using a bold, minimal line style.
Designed a modern monochrome poster to intrigue artistically inclined viewers.
Developed a surreal, playful sticker pack concept to appeal to new audiences.
Original Media
Originally released in 1973 in France, Fantastic Planet has limited promotional media—primarily French and a few English-language movie posters, along with screen grabs from the original film. A few examples are shown below.
Deliverables
To reintroduce Fantastic Planet to a modern audience, I created two original design assets that draw from the film’s surreal visuals while reimagining its promotional approach for contemporary viewers. Each piece was crafted with a specific audience and platform in mind, balancing artistic interpretation with visual engagement.
A poster created using a limited, monochromatic color palette to spark curiosity and visual intrigue. Designed to resonate with artistically inclined viewers, this piece offers an abstract interpretation of Fantastic Planet, focusing on form, texture, and atmosphere rather than explicit narrative elements.
A conceptual sticker set inspired by the film’s otherworldly imagery. Blending the surreal tone of Fantastic Planet with the playful nature of stickers, this deliverable aims to engage new audiences through collectible, visually engaging designs.
