Poster - Development

I have started to develop my main poster idea, by looking more into the grunge aesthetics and also adding a exhibition name, location and date. I decided to use the same font as the main header for this, however I changed the direction, colour, and size of the font on different letters. This makes the poster look more 'rough' and links to the theme of grunge. My favourite bit on this is the way I have placed the letters in the typography of 'Grunge Display'. This is because some of the letters are horizontal, some are vertical, and some are slanted and larger.  

This was really enjoyable to create as I was able to experiment with the typography sizes and positioning. I also used elements that I learnt through previous tasks, such as the texture task where I overlapped fonts; and the hierarchy task where I placed words in a way to make them appear more important. The main problem I have going from here is developing this design onto different products, such as the badges, website banner and t-shirts. Furthermore, I will need to experiment with how I am going to do this to complete a successful marketing campaign.

For this poster, I was inspired by this 'You are not special' poster that was created for the independent film, Fight Club.

I find this poster inspirational due to its grunge aesthetics and its use of the pop of colour. The main colours in this poster are monochrome and this is conventional from the grunge style and era. It also uses one main image of the main character from the film, which is bold and strong due to the contrast created through the dark colours. The pink font used for the film title in this poster inspired me to use the colour pink to outline the portrait in my poster. This is because the bright colour really stands out and attracts the viewers attention in front of the monochrome background. This is really useful and effective for this poster in particular as it is the film title and is needed to draw in viewers.
