OUGD403 Final Images for newspaper article Poster

Final Poster Designs

In my designs i wanted them to look visually appealing but put across my point with out over loading the poster with too much information, by keeping it relevant and simplistic.

Development Designs

Here i was experimenting with placement, however i went with my final layout as it kept it in theme with the type poster. If i hadn't then then the designs wouldn't have worked as a set or series.

Below are different experimentation's with different ways of how i could present my image design. I found this the hardest poster to design as its quite hard to show your theme through image alone. So this poster took the longest  to design because it took a lot of goes at it before i considered it finished. However from the crit there was a lot of positive feedback about the design of my image poster however i am not 100% happy about it. I find it too simple and a little bit bland. However below are the different ways i experimented with the chosen symbols i had used.

Experimenting with layout again. This didn't really work as it was too central and the way the images are placed visually it makes it look as if there is too much going on

 Experimenting with colour- Didn't work well as there would be too many colours involved, even if i was allowed a bigger amount of colours still wouldn't work as it doesn't make the red stand out.

 

AMENDMENTS TO MY POSTERS

From the crit these are a few of the points that were noted which i will go on to change on my posters:
-Colours (used too many due to the colour of my prints went blue rather then grey)
-Taking the image out of the type poster and replacing it with more text
-Maybe experiment more with layout and layout and size
- Experiment with the size, uppercase or lowercase of my designs

Taking into account all the things in the crit i think i have developed my posters for the better with the advice they had given me. When i print my images out i will experiment with the stock colour as to leave it with a white plain background or use a grey stock.
