Brief Explanation

The key objective was to get people to the film festival by asking them to log on to the website.

The Brief

To entice people to come to the Dubai International Film Festival

How the final design was conceived

The best way to enjoy a film is when you do not know the story that awaits you. At Dubai International Film Festival, we wanted our audience to expect the unexpected. To illustrate this idea we used a simple device- a door. The half open door captures people’s curiosity, the anticipation before it opens and the excitement when they see something unexpected.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

Last yrs website visits was 67000 where as this year 131,129 people visited the Diff Website. This represents an 87.74% increase compared to 2010
