Overview

Dreh – Spin in Motion is a poster created for the German film festival dok Leipzig. The word Dreh in German translates to “spin” in English, and the creative concept stems from the idea of dynamic rotation. The design aims to capture both the festival’s energy and the continuous flow of innovation from filmmakers.
