Multimedia

"The Pillow Book DVD Interface"

This was a DVD interface created for a university project for the film The Pillow Book directed by Peter Greenaway. I went with a design that was elegant, interesting and reflects on the interesting visual style of the film itself. In the design I had an area of subtle change in the form of vivid colour which changes tint very slowly and the menu played.
