Described by aintitcoolnews as “one of the most interesting poster designers in the world today” Jeremy Saunders has created key art and title design for over 300 titles since 2002 including work by Lars von Trier, Taika Waititi, Andrea Arnold, Michael Haneke, Cate Shortland and Jane Campion. His increasingly panicked attempts to do almost anything else are routinely thwarted by a cruel and vindictive universe.

    Jeremy Saunders Key Art

    November 2001 - Present

    Creating marketing campaigns for (primarily) film, television and theater clients.

    Developed and grew purely via word-of-mouth into a world-class design provider to clients around the globe, building a reputation for delivering innovative, intelligent marketing that defies the conventions of the industry.

    Aintitcoolnews called me “one of the most interesting poster designers in the world today”, SBS News said “Saunders’ art is everywhere and the film industry is better off for it”, and online magazine LA I’m Yours described my body of work as a “game-c

  • Senior Designer

    Dendy Films

    2004 - 2006

    Leading a design team providing solutions for the Becker Group, which consisted of a number of separate companies each with their own distinct branding and identities, including Dendy Cinemas, Becker Films, Dendy Films, Moonlight Cinemas, a sports and music management division and an international sales division.

  • Art Director

    Inside Film

    2002 - 2004

    Design and production of 72-page monthly industry magazine. The role of art director consisted of designing each issue from scratch, photo editor, designer, and often included copy editing and many other in-no-way-actually-anything-to-do-with-art-direction tasks, crammed into a hectic four-day period every month.

  • Graphic Designer

    Ebit Pty Ltd

    2001 - 2002

    Web and GUI design for recruitment software provider, and web and print design for associated subdivisions (four separate recruitment consultancies).

  • New Media Consultant

    Reed

    1999 - 2000

    Man, I was bad at this job. Really bad. But they were lovely people and just seemed to like having me around the place, talking to clients about flash and netscape navigator, and not bringing in any appreciable revenue.

  • Personnel and Training Manager

    Pink Planet

    1997 - 1999

    I was the Personnel and Training Manager, and as such I managed all the personnel and training. It's right there in the title.

  • Temporaries Manager

    Reed

    1996 - 1997

    See, weirdly I was actually really good at this job, which was almost the same job as the one two jobs up. It was pretty stressful if I'm honest. I got wear a nice suit every day, which I kind of miss. Although we were born naked and there's nothing wrong with the human body after all, as I just patiently explained to the courier.

  • Our Price Music Asst Manager/Trainer/Singles Buyer/You name

    Virgin

    1992 - 1996

    Music retail, man. There's a job that doesn't exist any more. I wonder what people who drop out of art college do these days? Victims of the inexorable march of progress? Or are they millennial self-starting ideamongers? Who can tell. I have an enormous respect for the good folks of retail. Tough job, tough hours, tough pay. Played lots of Julian Cope and Suede (you can imagine).
