CineVegas Film Festival

Brand design, print, and digital work for CineVegas, the Las Vegas international film festival. Included the CineFile festival magazine, promotional illustration, and the CineSlots iOS app.

CineVegas was the Las Vegas international film festival, a desert-noir counterpart to Sundance, with a reputation for taking cult cinema and emerging directors seriously. I worked across print, illustration, and digital touchpoints for multiple festival years.

CineFile Magazine — 2008

The official festival publication, designed and art directed for the 2008 edition. CineFile served as the program guide and editorial companion for the festival, distributed to attendees across all screenings.

“Frank Booth Has A Posse” — 2007

Festival sticker for the 2007 CineVegas screening of Blue Velvet. Dennis Hopper’s Frank Booth riffed on the Andre The Giant Has A Posse street art template, the kind of cinephile in-joke CineVegas audiences got.

CineSlots — 2009

A skeumorphic slot machine iOS app built for the 2009 festival. CineSlots let attendees browse the film program through a slot machine mechanic: pull for a random film recommendation. Pure Las Vegas energy applied to film discovery.

CineSlots App — slot machine UI and film discovery

CineSlots App — icon set

The icon set drew from classic Las Vegas casino iconography (cards, dice, reels) reframed around film genres and the festival program. Built for iOS 3 when the App Store was still new enough that a festival app was genuinely novel.
