Gotham Creative City Proposal

Gotham, long recognized as a fallen industrial city, is facing deep-rooted challenges. With faint glimmers of hope coming, Gotham now needs a visionary scheme to unleash its creative potential and restore its former glory in the 21st century.

What if...

the future of Gotham

is directed by Wes Anderson?

In The Creative Industries coursework, I envisioned a series of creative city activities to revive Gotham’s past vibrancy as an industrial hub. As part of this scheme, the opening promotional short film would be directed by Wes Anderson (I hope so). I used Midjourney to generate some images that subtly incorporate Wes Anderson’s style with Gotham’s unique characteristics to create posters.

Apart from the visual design, this proposal is supported by solid research and an outlined execution plan. You are very welcome to review it via Gotham Creative City Proposal.pdf.

Comment

This is an innovative and playful proposal. Conceptually it is extremely sophisticated and witty. Great choice of Wes Anderson as visual lead on project: Gotham, Grow and Glow! Excellent presentation and design. A very impressive piece of work, Eric. Congratulations!
