The thursday murder club
This is a spec project. From the novel, and soon to be feature film, The Thursday Murder Club I’ve identified five graphic design props and created each one. They include: branding, coasters and Jazz Night poster for Le Pont Noir, Cut To The Chase newsletter, the community notice board of Coopers Chase, Joyce’s Diary, and the menu for the Coopers Chase restaurant.
Joyce’s Diary
I was all set to create a physical diary for Joyce. Couldn’t wait to pick out the perfect journal and imitate the hand writing of an 80 year old woman. However, when re-reading, I discovered that when Joanna stays over and Joyce is journaling, Joyce has to “type quietly so as not to wake Joanna”. So it seems that Joyce really is with the times and types her diary. While she could use a typewriter that seems unlikely, based on how often the Coopers Chase residents talk about iPads. And, we know Joyce has a laptop. So, a rose gold Mac Book Air seemed appropriate for Joyce’s diary.
