Pernicio Film Titles
In collaboration with the National Film School in IADT, I was asked to design the title sequence of a short Film called Pernicio. The aim of the project was to work alongside final year film students and provide them with motion graphics and sound design for the title sequence of the short film. I designed a visual identity which was also applied to package, a poster for promotional purposes and a website.
Pernicio follows a young man who has finally taken his life into his own hands, by ending his own life. Luckily for him he lives in a world where his needs can be catered for, in the shape of Pernicio Clinic, which provides the service of suicide where he meets Sam. It is during this time that Sam changes Gary’s mindset and makes him re-think his decision.
Client: The National Film School, IADT
Project Scope: Motion graphics + sound design + web design + packaging + printed matter
Pernicio
The film is a dark comedy, in which a young man explores his attitude towards life and death.
The film stars Eoin O’Sullivan, Danielle Galligan, and Mark Lawrence. It is produced by Laura Gaynor at the National Film School at the Institute of Art, Design and Technology, Dún Laoghaire.
Packaging
The packaging for Pernicio was based upon medical packaging to reflect the theme of the film of how a patient may go through the process of
euthanasia.
Website
I wanted to take a fresh approach to the overused theme of suicide, whilst also painting a picture of a potential dystopian Ireland with some references toward capitalism and how far it will go. While we’ve made great progress in being mindful of those who are suffering, we still have a long way to go. It’s a sort of exaggerated view of where I think we could end up.

Website walkthrough
The website is fully responsive with the aim to promote the short film holding all the necessary information. At the very end of the site there was a voucher code where you could gain access and receive your invitation to the launch night.
