Zombie

Thought taken a brief look at zombie culture in general might help inspire some ideas.



Zombie culture seems to be more than often very jokey anyway. There is alot of satire that looks back at the old zombie films and the what now seem funny special effects. It is very gory but this would have to be possibly toned down as the client has asked it isn't to gruesome for kids. Silhouettes are often used of disfigured people which I think could possibly be a good idea to use.

Zombie Logo


The image of the hand coming up from the ground is a recurring image tat is used over and over again in zombie imagery. This image has been related with the idea of zombies and the rising of the dead and is almost like a logo for the culture. Putting this into my work will help communicate the theme of the play as well as attracting zombie fans and creating a strong image.


Zombie culture as does other horror cultures has its own issues that it tackles. As does Vampirism look at cultural worries of the spread of disease and the lose of religion zombie culture usually looks into the fears of the calapse of human civilization. Weather or not this is relevant to the play that the youth group have written I'm not sure. Also I'm unsure weather or not it would help the design. Finding out about the script of the play if aloud may help me to get more of an idea weather these things would be relevant to my design.
