The Movie:
Changing Spots is a film by Susan Turley and stars Lane West, Danielle Egnew & Lars Jackson. It is a story about Molly, an actress (played by Lane West) who returns home and comes to terms with her past as a child actor, her relationship with her father and her confrontation with a sexual offender from her childhood.
The Design:
Susan, Lane and I went for a more mainstream look to the poster with the main character in the foreground. The use of the swing set has particular significance in the film, while the stormy backdrop and lighting help represent the darkness of the past.
Additionally, an image of her father (Larrs Jackson) and her girlfriend help to balance out the ominous tone of the poster while providing a sort of “celestial” watching-over of Molly.
This was the original design of the poster. Since then the title logo as well as other fonts were changed by the director to better express her vision of the film. The image itself remains intact, though affected by and orange filter for the website and DVD release. The image above represents my work only.
