Poster Layouts

These are my final poster layouts in black and white. Obviously when they are displayed they will be next to each other so you you can see the development of emotion. I think that the lines cant just be solid colours because that would look quite boring. Using a gradient to create contrast would be better as the lines are flowing then so should the colour. Also i could change the thickness of the lines to see how it looks. I am going to have to use text to give an idea that its about single parents emotions, i was thinking about using the phrase 'How Do You Feel?' but this is just development.

Back To Posters

Using a layout of my posters i decided to see what it would look like using colour. i quite like the gradient and thing that it works well. Although my final posters wouldn't use these bright colours because the colours would portray the different stages that a single parent goes through, emotionally. i think that looking at the lines and how they curve create a sense of emotion in itself.

Experiment

Here following a photoshop tutorial i created a swoosh using the gradient, warp and perspective tool. I quite liked the idea and thought that i could use this to create my final poster images. However my tutor thought that it looked to computer rendered. I was thinking that maybe i could add texture to it to ensure that it portrays emotions because emotion is a human thing. Also i had problems with it as the warp tool would only let me warp it to a certain extent.

New Lampshade Idea!!

I have thought of a different way how to create my lampshade. Instead of creating supports to hold the paper i could use wire to create a shape e.g a sphere and cover that shape with stretchy thin material. This would allow the lights inside of it to illuminate.

Peter Saville

Below are some of Peter Saville's work, i would say that they have inspired me on how i want to produce my final posters for my 'emotions' theme. The image at the top is really simple and just uses various lines to create like a 3D effect. Below that i was looking at his use of colour. The way how they all come together its like they are creating some kind of mood. Also he uses alot of vibrant colours to really make it stand out.

Poster Ideas

Model

Here i was trying to create something like the lampshade i posted earlier. I found it quite a challenge and had to measure out the lengths on paper to cut out. The paper at the top should be rounded instead of bumpy. I should have cut those pieces smaller in length. Also the middle piece of paper should be the longest piece as it has the furthest to stretch. You can also see than there are still pieces that need covering. This would mean that i need to cut out more slots and apply more paper. i think that this method is very doable. I think i could also create a diamond shape and maybe a box shape. I think that if i decide to do this as my 3D model then it would look good with the lights inside of it. And the translucent plastic.
