Another ‘leaking poster’ experiment.
One Day Live Brief - Apajove
Here are my Apajove logo ideas sketches from Friday…
I’ve had a really good day today.
I had my tutorial and I’m proper chuffed with the feedback that I got.
Then I went off into Manchester to buy a sketchbook for the second part of our Direction Within Graphic Design brief, as well as some blue ink so I can create a final poster for the Rain Brief. I think I also found my new favourite design book, which will defiantly come in handy.
So the plan now is to carry on and try and wrap up my Rain project before making a start on the second part of the DWGD Brief tomorrow…
‘Rain’ Poster Experimentation
‘Leaking Poster’ Experiment
Weather Affected Poster Idea
Experimentation
So, as you may of seen, I posted a video a while back of a piece by Rethink, who created a poster that when it came into contact with rain, it ran.
That gave me an idea of using the same concept and adapting it to fit this brief. From the images you can see the initial design idea that i’ve created for the purpose of this experiment, which is explained within my sketchbook.
I created it by printing the text onto card and pasted it onto the wooden board with a thick pva and water solution. Once dry I stencilled the rain drop shape over the top using black soluble ink and sponge, then left it to dry.
Using an old Frebreeze bottle full of water, I then sprayed the piece in a bid to give the effect of being rained on, and in spite of my initial beliefs, it actually worked.
However, I now face a bit of a dilemma, as once again, time is running short.
I really like this idea and i’m going to develop it further into a finished piece, however, due to the what I have to work with before tomorrows finished poster deadline, my design will be printed onto A4, rather than the A3 that I would of preferred (Unless I have time tomorrow). My other issue is that, in my sketchbook, I mentioned that I thought black ink would make the poster seem negative rather than the positive, persuasive poster that it should be, so I said that a bright blue ink would work better alround. However, I do not have any blue ink at the moment, so for the purpose of tomorrows design submission, the ink will remain black. However, I will continue to work on this idea after tomorrow as I’d really like to see how it comes out.
Overall though, experiment well done.
‘Hand Illustrated Type’ Poster Idea - Inspiration
I found this floating about Tumblr and my first thoughts interms of how this inspires my idea, is the typeface thats been used. I really like the typeface and how it’s kind of ‘cheerful’, without being tacky as such. Within my hand illustrated type poster, I too would like to use a similiar typefaces to this as I would like my poster to look positive in order to be persuasive.
I will also use bright colours, such as the ones used in the piece, which should work with the typeface in making poster look positive. I plan on using various shades of blue as I believe that blue is a representative colour of rain and water.
