designing oscar





One of the highlights from Sunday's low-key, genial Oscar telecast was the amazing graphic design from The Mill +.

Creative Director Manija Emran says, “We used the beam of light as our visual icon. The beam is significant in three ways; on a practical level it acts as the projector beam, it’s representative of the heroic aspect and finally it evokes the idea of a performer stepping out onto a grand stage.”





Best Picture...













My astute friend Chris Cosgrove noticed how the graphics were "expressive in what they are representing," with the adapted screenplay nominees using headlines and text collages whereas the original scripts were just original sketches.

  2. What a brilliant concept for a blog post! I love this so much. It was nice to spend the time to look at all of these in detail because they disappeared on screen so quickly. Thanks for this collection! Just a beautiful job.
