Spiral

This image is used frequently in the film and the colours and composition I think will work well on the cover

Tree of Life imagery

This shot of an attic with a window gets repeated quite a lot in the film which could be used.

 This shot of the sun with a small black circle moving across I think is the sun when it reaches the end of its life and expands to an incredible size and the black spot is Earth.

Tree of Life

I have decided to do 'Tree of Life' as a cover for Little White Lies because they have already done 'Black Swan' and 'Drive'. I can't watch 'Tinker Tailer Soldier Spy' and 'Super 8's main character is a kid.

So after watching 'The Tree of Life' I wanted to get some sort of concept to go with the design of the cover. But the film is very ambiguous and dreamy. Its basically about life, childhood, nature and nurture, family and death. These things are hard to 'draw' because they encompass so much.

I looked into imagery as something to use in the design. The film has lots of beautiful visuals to choose from.

Brighton.

For BPKA the client has asked for something iconic of "Brighton" for the logo. The 4 main things that are Brighton all over are the Royal Pavillion, Brighton Pier, The burnt out West pier and Sea guls.
