FINALISING

MAKING/CRITIQUE

At first the chalkboards weren't completely recognisable after asking some peers so I added actual drawings on top to give it that feel. At first I had the tagline Support local but after talking to the tutor it could've been more resolved so it is no changed to 'Support Local Business'. 

Looking at how I started off and how that idea developed into this poster shows how much you can do if you keep working on it. There are so many ways and ideas to come about each of these issues. When i first started this project I thought I would end up painting something but instead I have expanded my knowledge and skills. I am more confident working with illustrator than I used to be. If I look at my poster now there definitely is a visual movement going from top left to bottom right.

DEVELOPMENT & REFINING

IDEATE/ CRITIQUE/ MAKING

After getting critique I have gone about to make my poster imagery from scratch using illustrator and photoshop. It looks more refined that way. I'm still struggling with the composition and a tagline that makes the overall poster work. Right now i'm more interested in getting the imagery done and dusted. If I am incorporating the 'domino effect' then there should be a good flow and sense of rhythm. 

Instead of having the actual dominos I'm thinking of using those old chalkboards people use and put outside their shops.

INTERIM PRESENTATION

CRITIQUE

Today's class was short and simple. The idea of getting together with people who haven't seen your work is good. There is more room for feedback and critique that way. I need to work on my posters compositionally more and play around with tag lines/type. Type itself requires another layer of research. 

Painting instead of refining my idea digitally has a different effect. It isn't as clean and tidy as it would be digitally. I work better with paint so I will carry on with this media.

GETTING CLOSER TO AN OUTCOME

UNDERSTAND / IDEATE / MAKING

Our critique is tomorrow which is something I am definitely looking forward to. I have made 4 mock-ups ready for tomorrow. They are mostly painted and collage but I don't think that will be my final choice of media. I just find painting much easier and also I need to show colour so people who look at it can actually get what I was going for. I haven't added any words because I am struggling for that area of the poster. 

Out of the 4 there are two that I prefer more. Instead of going for the overall superstores, I have pin pointed Ronald McDonald because pretty much everyone can associate with him. 

Right now I need to pay more attention to how the wording and imagery will go hand in hand otherwise my poster will be really shit.
