Poster trials

8.13-14

I've tried to change scales and layouts.

1.

so I have started off fixing some things that they critiqued about in last class.

I personally decided to stick with using a brown Background for my classic storybook concept.

but developing further on..I reduced most of the texts. (because it is a poster not a booklet design).

2.

Somehow I though this was off balanced.

I tried to balance it by scaling up the size of the wolf but it didn't quite work.

so basically technique that i used for my poster is Image&text.

When audience see this poster they could think it is just one of Aesop's fable story book cover but when they read the text they could incorporate the meaning.

Wolf is known to be two faced and they are known to be bad in a storybook

and kiwi represents Newzealanders therefore it is obvious something bad is going to happen to kiwi.

Beehive just backs up that my poster is about politics/governments/voting.

3.

This is similar but i got rid of the black box to balance it out.

4.

putting text in center.

5.

Tried scaling up a bit to get a focus.

6.

Even more.

7.

Then i tried to use font more

I had the v(thick box) paralleled with beehive in order to link the idea of voting system and parliament.

I used scale to contrast that the wolf is big and bad 

but kiwis are small and weak.

All the Kiwis know that the wolf is lying and the system is unfair but they do not say it out loud.

By changing opacity of 'they are liars..' fonts i get the spooky feeling.

---------------------------------

 COLOR THEORY

The reason why i used black is to avoid bright powerful colors because most of it has positive meaning.

But unlike other colors black means it is powerful and mysterious. Which is like governments in some ways. There are other meanings which backs up my color theory as well.

Brown is the color of dependence and it is wise&confident color.

The Wolf(politicians in this case) disguises that they are wise and confident creature

but actually they are dangerous.

8.

Tried to change layouts.

9.

By changing a scale i get the feeling of dictatorship.

10.

I simplified the poster.

I tried to balance this by having font in a beehive shape upside down.

They are looking away each other showing that kiwi doesn't really trust the wolf.

Thumbnails for voting

7.10~8.10

This is what we did in class ages ago..

I tried to mix idea of con and pro in order to get my brain working 

In my own time I thought about both pro/con ideas so i could choose which one i want to do.

Most of the strong idea that i had was pro.

I had some ideas on cons on this page but the only good idea that i had was voting is a bridge to no where.

:Making a bridge out of ballot paper so it is unstable and crumbles later on. 

Then i got into details and generated some ideas.

the message that i tried to come across on this page was that they are forcing us to vote but nothing changes so it doesn't worth anything. 

the message that i tried to come across on this page was 

that they are forcing us to vote but politicians all look the same to us.

The other idea that i talked about with Matt and Phoebe is 

:what politicians say is like a fiction.

This idea was mostly based on the fact that we as student don't have much information about politicians because majority doesn't watch tv, 

they rather look at facebook or messengers.

I tried to use minimalism for ideas on top.

Then i played around with my strongest idea voting is a bridge to no where

because it will break after a while.

In this page i tried to use expressionism by using scribbles and lines.

These two are more illustrative but i tried to explore my idea more on this point.
