Final posters

I have decided upon my final iterations for my posters and sent them to big picture to get them printed:

Week 6 Monday 21st August

Took my two posters into class and printed them off as tiled A2s to pin up for a critique with the tutors. From the feedback, I was able to resize the body copy text as well as condensing it slightly.

Fay helped me to explore more colour schemes:

Tantalus poster iterations

Adding body copy to try out some of the iterations

More hands iterations

Week 4 Thursday 17th August

Unfortunately I was unwell, and had to miss this studio, but I got a few classmates to fill me in about what was spoken about in the lecture. I think I will try and get my posters printed by an outside firm, to avoid the huge toystore rush/gamble. I'm thinking I will take them to big picture to get it done. I'm hoping to send them the file on Monday afternoon right after the studio (using that as my last chance consultation before I print) Hopefully this will leave me enough time for them to complete the job, and for me to finish off my workbook ready for thursday! I talked to some 4th year students before the weekend for some critique and then started working on some iterations mostly on my hands poster.

Week 4 Monday the 14th Continued

Talking with both Fay and Caroline after the Interim presentations was good, and advice seemed to more or less line up more than in the past which was good.

The advice was to instead of having so many sets of hands, maybe focus on one set, and make it nice and big Also play around with other colours, Caroline showed me this:

Another Saul Bass work, and suggested I use blue and purple as my colours because not only has he used them but because blue is opposite of orange, and purple is adjacent to that.

I also need to make my body copy way smaller and play around with its positioning more.

Here is what I whipped up in the end of class, as part of my iterative process:

I also might take a look at changing the headline to be more about the limitations of poverty, and also might redesign these hands, and possibly alter the colours a little
