Inspiration
As part of the visual story telling project we are to sell at the uni Christmas market where we can promote our current project work. Therefore, for the market we were set a brief by student union to create a poster that could be displayed around uni campus to advertise the market.
To start this process i began by looking on Pinterest for different inspiration for how other artists have captured different events. Below shows three different designs that i liked for different reasons. I really like the first poster as it had a fun character design with simplistic but effective style illustration. I also liked how they still were able to keep a busy detailed illustration by simply using a frame to focus on the detail.
This was another favourite of mine, as i liked how they used the typography in such a statement way with a composition that is unique and almost appears as though it is ribbon wrapping across th poster. I also particularly liked the colours as they were bright, fun and high contrasting and would therefore draw the viewers attentions into the advertisement.
The third design also has a different vibe as it seems this style of poster has again more of a simplistic style that almost frames the typography and therefore draws the view into the poster towards the information.
My Final Design
Above shows my final artwork which I created with inspiration of decorations on a Christmas tree, for this piece i really wanted to think about the textures within the drawing to add depth within the bold colours and simplistic style. I also would usually stick to a modern calligraphy style, however instead i wanted something a bit more clearer and fun. I chose tog o for a hand drawn bold type face that would clearly state the information that needs to be advertised. Overall i was happy with how my piece came out as felt it really showed the important information whilst really keeping to the Christmas theme. I also liked to experiment with a different colour palette and i really like how the dark background was used as felt it created a contrast and really would pull the viewer in whilst also allowing me to experiment out of my comfort zone.
