Project: Godspeed Year: 2025 Discipline: Identity, Print, design Client: George Nixon Collaborators: Nick Hand
Written and directed by George Nixon, Godspeed follows a solitary fisherman mourning the sudden loss of his wife, his routine is broken when he begins seeing her spirit in a lobster he catches. He clings to this surreal reunion, desperate to repent his past ambivalence and finally express his love.
The identity for the film was inspired by the typography found on Cornish mead flagons. The custom word mark was reproduced as a cast metal plate and I worked closely with printmaker Nick Hand to create a series of prints using a letterpress on archival paper, to give authentic texture and depth.
