Cinema Centrale is about the music of movies, where I play the work of the greatest film composers of the 20th century. Each episode highlights one classic score by featuring a few of its songs and other music that reminds me of it. The website serves as an archive for past episodes and includes some fun details like an autoplaying Mixcloud embed and a cover image for each movie.

A small branding package was designed to elevate and promote the tour. The identity reflects its subject matter and leans into its personal nature; the wordmark’s serif, Grenette, is inspired by early 20th century woodcut classics and features plenty of warmth in its contrasting features. A seal similar to those used in the agricultural industry was also created to pair with the wordmark or stand on its own. Additional work includes a template for Asm. Rivas’ daily itineraries, another for press releases, a set of logo stickers, and a fully illustrated map of the state and his tour stops.

Despite boasting some of the most critically-acclaimed movies of all time, horror hasn’t been given the proper respect it’s due, particularly in the publishing realm. Past magazines have offered extensive coverage of the genre, but their unpolished, tabloid-like feel left a lot to be desired. With horror’s recent renaissance taking the world by storm, Fear arose out of the need for a definitive guide to its past triumphs, one that’s as sleek and stylized as it is smart. Functioning more like a critical journal than magazine-rack fare, its essays are tastefully and specially designed to reflect the quality of the films at hand.

Dimensions: 8.2 x 11 in

All words are original. All stills come from their respective films. If you would like to read Fear in full quality, click here.
