This class proved to be quite a stressful class, as Fay was wanting to have everybody print out some tiled A2 posters with some typography, and I was still waiting to take a good quality photograph of my Tantalus subversion. Not only this but I was still having to rethink my options for my second poster. Caroline came and talked to me and saw my illustrations of hands and suggested that if I like that kind of thing to find a way to use that. I did get quite stuck as well because the headlines have to be the same for both posters, yet both posters have to be different and use different rhetoric strategies, and so I got quite stuck on that thinking that if I moved forward with an idea for my second poster, I would end up not being able to think of a good headline which can apply and enhance both of them well, and I would have to try a different approach and will have wasted time developing a poster idea I can't use, but then still not being able to come up with a headline which worked for my tantalus poster but also inspired a decent idea for my second poster. This was all quite stressful, when I was being hurried along, but I took a picture of my tantalus subversion with my phone to use for the class, and try to put some typography on it. There wasn't much time left in class, and Caroline had suggested looking into illuminated manuscripts as an idea for how to present my tantalus.
So this is what I had time to whip up in class, keeping in mind that after only a few minutes working on this, the manuscript idea wasn't going to work, especially in a VCD poster sense, and also I don't like this at all but I'm still including it as part of my process.
