Karine Savard, A Modern Film Poster Design Trailblaizer

“There is both the distributor who wants to reach the widest possible audience, the filmmaker with his or her own vision and me who tries to offer something original.” - Karine Savard

Based in Montreal, Karine Savard has been designing film posters since 2006. She graduated from Concordia University with a degree in Art and Design. Blue is Karine’s favorite color and she experiments with different hues of the color in many of her creations. She uses a lot of vibrant color, typographic expressions, and imagery to tell a story. She is also an extremely talented illustrator.

She has collaborated with several producers and distributors of fiction and documentary films such as “Micro_scope”, “Christal Films”, “Seville”, “Fun Films”, “Metropolis Films”, “Les Films on March 3rd”, “COOP Vidéo”, “Mongrel Media”, “Participant Media”, “VisitFilms”, “Organic Folkets”, “Filmcoopi,” and “Dreampixies”. She has created over a hundred film posters for the film industry in Quebec. 

Her posters have won many Communication Arts Awards, a Lux Award, and were selected at the Mexico Poster Biennale. She is still producing posters in the film industry today, and serves as a female icon for modern poster design.
