Poster

After our storyboard, the final part of the brief was to create a poster. The elements on the poster included our name logo, the storyboard content and our expressive type, Family. We had to focus on line spacing, emphasis and alignment.

Storyboard

We received another brief which encouraged us to research kinetic typography and create our own storyboards. We received our content and we had to incorporate an element for which we would sacrifice our lives for. I chose family. We then fully comped our storyboard keeping in mind how to use expressive type instead of symbols and images. Then I printed out my words and created my final piece.

Textures

For the final part of our elements brief, we added textures to our colored elements. We used the same color palette and experimented with various textures. For example I used teabag powder, tinfoil, cotton buds and rubbings.

Comping exercise

After experimenting with different types, we began to put it into a text format. This involved a new process called comping. We comped text and created sketches of a double spreadsheet which would express our chosen word. I then copied and pasted different elements and then created a negative version of the final on the printer.

Colour elements

In order to explore design principles and elements further, we explored colour through our already designed pieces. We used Kuler colour wheel to pick the appropriate hues while following the colour rule strictly. The rules I used for my finished pieces were mainly monochromatic, analogous and complementary which supported my selected words. The common colour I chose for my 4 pieces was blue. The medium used to create my finals was acrylic paints.
