PLAN:
Stage one of this assignment for me is to give it a title; this has been a small bone of contention with myself for some time seeing as I was planning on calling it 'untitled' HOWEVER I have now decided to call it 'Lost & Found'. I've come to this title by looking at all the bits and pieces I've been playing around with and deciding that the only way of catagorising everything together is by comparing it to a lost and found box. So the first part of this was to design myself a title font.
I have used illustrator to manipulate a vector image of a pin into the shapes of the letters. I wanted to go for a really eclectic individual theme so I have decided to mostly use illustrator in this poster in a similar way to the work of Wolfie Does Illustrate and Disco Betty
Looking at other illustration techniques used on posters made me think that my imagery might work best on a black background but the black outline of the text made my created font much less striking.
After changing the font outline to white the design seemed to lose all it's definition so I have decided to scrap the idea of using a black background!
After all that I decided that that font was pretty ineffective so I have decided to use a ready made font that I could use later in the project
So to make my poster communicate with my project I decided to use the theme of pendants and hanging textile installations so I started off by building up a series of links and sections using illustrator
So to meet the manipulated images section of the brief I decided to take photos of my current work and then use photoshop to alter them. (please see slideshow for some pictures)
From this stage I just continued to work in illustrator to build up the over all effect of the poster.
The finished product
