BR posters. progress and mistakes

while looking at different art movements i was very interested in the shapes used in the art deco movement, so i wanted to try and use the "slotting together" of shapes in this image, i also looked at art nouveau and wanted try out using flowing organic shapes also and see what looked better.i started off trying to edit my poster by adding texture to the top brown section and the top red section, then playing around with fonts. when printing this it came out blurry i am not sure if it is the image or the printer i was using, i will try print from another printer and see how it comes out. the bottom info ( the web sight and the phone number) was not lined up properly. and the events info was not lined up properly. i also wanted to try using white so it would stand out more against the red. and try adding blue to match the hat at the top.

after adding the blue strip to match the hat i decided that the border reiver face was not a strong and more obvious border reiver face. so i decided to look up images of border reiver men. i also decided to look renaissance faire posters for inspiration on the typography and colour.

after finding the new face image i decided to add a more bold font and use black for the Border Reivers title. i also wanted to deepen the colours on the poster overall and the strip with the date and location i wanted to match the top of the poster for a separation of shapes.

i added the blue 'We Ride' to have a contrast against the red but i kept a looser more art nouveau font as i liked how it looked and instead of lining up the events in columns i decided to do it as a list. i also changed the positioning of the number and web sight at the bottom and i really like how it looks i then noticed Hawick was misspelled.

I am going to line up the events list so there is a straight gap in-between the writing and the ends line up, i aslo need to put a capital letter at telephone and i want to see if a bolder blue would look better.

I changed the 'We Ride' colour to match the colour at the top, also changing the events list to a font easier to read and changed it to a white with a yellow tint to it to complement the colour of the 'we ride' type. the typeface i used for the events list to me, dose not look correct. try using only two fonts.

i decided to research typography more.

When i was a kid, i got asked to produce a drawing that expressed Autumn, the winner got the work in a calendar for the school. I worked and i worked on this drawing, expressing my feelings of Autumn. I won. I told my Mum and Dad that they could buy the calendar with my work in it, i was so proud. I showed my parents my work, and although they were happy for me told me they that although it was good, my sister's new drawing of a bird was better... more realistic. Through out all of my childhood and teenage years, i was told i was not as good as my sister and to this day i still do. I would constantly compare my work to hers, and eventually i gave up art completely. I had a pang of jealousy when i would see other peoples art work, and suppress the jealous feeling towards my sister and the anger i felt towards my parents. I felt even more guilt and as i grew i built up this wall around myself, i put on a mask of a confident girl, who did not feel jealousy, sadness or frustrat...

Dada Collage part 2

I released i was trying to copy Hannah Hoch's Das Schone Madchen/ beautiful girl collage instead of understanding it so i decided to research the artists and this peace of work i found out this is a photomontage made in the 1920's that deals with gender issues amidst the dawning of Germany’s New Woman. the hair and womans body is looking at beauty trends and expectations in women of that time and the Car parts are contrasting with the way society looks at women, even today. I started noting similarities in what i felt Hoch was trying to say was the modern women in the 20's and what is a modern woman today. trying to keep similar colours and tone, i chose a modern day hair style as well as a measuring tape and lipstick to suggest modern day female beauty standards, i chose the black and white woman at the top for minimalism but put the iconic 2015 brows over the top, i kept the BMW badge but c hanged it to the 2015 one as i felt their is still an ...

View point Task 1.

Conduct market research into the range of publications available for the target age group . Free and for sale. Contemporary and historical sources - visual and non - visual. I wanted to start my research with a range of publications. At this point i am unsure where i am going / what i want to do so i thought i would just start with exploring a wide range of publications as the brief says to try and find my interest. I started with a well known magazine that 18 - 30 year olds would look at, i thought about interests and started with fashion. Vogue I liked this cover above because it is very minimal, and i think that is more stylish and clean looking. I like the black and white look and the muted tones in it, like the title 'Vogue' i think works really well with the black and white. The magazine usually has more type in it.... I thought this was a good example of what an issue of vogue usually looks like, it is still quite minimal and loo...
