The Lady Snowblood is a series of three films featured under the Criterion collection. It was my choice to redesign the movie set for the Typography 2 module.

 

The movie is about a young woman (Meiko Kaji), trained from childhood as an assassin and hell-bent on revenge for the murders of her father and brother and the rape of her mother, who hacks and slashes her way to gory satisfaction in turn-of-the-twentieth-century Japan. Rampant with inventive violence and spectacularly choreographed swordplay, Toshiya Fujita’s pair of influential cult classics Lady Snowblood and Lady Snowblood: Love Song of Vengeance are bloody, beautiful extravaganzas composed of one elegant widescreen composition after another.

 

All the elements I used for my design were related to the movie. The main element is the umbrella because Meiko utilized it to hide her swords inside the holder. On the other hand, an umbrella symbolizes Japanese culture combined with Kimono.

 

In addition, the creepy scene is always shown in the bamboo forest in the movie when Meiko kills enemies. Therefore, I chose bamboo as another element for my design.
