Cameos
It provides all Hitchcock's film with the titles, years of release, times of apearing himself as a cameo and descriptions of the cameo scene based on timeline.

 

 

It presents his favoruite collaborators including actress, actors, designer, composer and his wife.

I made two information designs 'All the Cameos of Hitchcock' and 'Favourite Collaborators of Hitchcock.'

During this work, I researched lots of information about Alfred Hitchcock and watched some his films. By the time, I was really interested in appearing himself in his film as a cameo. Secondly, He worked with many famous people, actors, actresses, composers and designer. One of his collaborators was Saul Bass, who was one of the greatest designers, worked title and sequence for so many Hitchcock’s films. Those reasons why I decided to design about cameos and collaborators.

 

I’d got massive impression from his skill of using voyeurism through his films such as Psycho, Rear Window and Vertigo. (It made me to bought some his DVD collection.) Because of this I applied a keyhole in the middle of Cameos information design and put Hitchcock’s eye behind the keyhole as he looks at  his cameo scenes himself as a voyeur.

I applied circle lines (it can be work like a spiral effect) around the diagram respectively so that it makes attention and a bit dizzy to viewer. The reason why I used this effect, we can recognise that Hitchcock was very good at using this kind of effect through his film Vertigo. That effect designed by Saul Bass so I used circle and spiral shape for my those works.
