For this project, I was commissioned by Big Pond Pictures to create the official poster for Heartbreak, Coffee, and A Pack of Cigarettes. The creative direction called for an analog-inspired aesthetic influenced by the timeless design language of classic Blue Note album covers. To capture that visual identity, I developed a custom dynamic typographic title that became the focal point of the composition while embracing a bold, expressive layout. I also centered the design around one of the film's most recognizable visual motifs—the coffee mug and pack of cigarettes—to evoke the quiet intimacy and melancholy at the heart of the story. The final poster blends vintage-inspired graphic design with contemporary composition, creating a memorable piece that reflects both the film's tone and its distinctive visual identity.
