Final Poster

I eventually stuck with this is my final piece Its simple and not necessarily easy to read but I feel it engages viewers and tempts them to take on board its message. I tried amalgamating it with various other images and textures only to find they detracted from the pieces 'purity'. I felt it worked best as a stand alone image. Thats that. MEGABOOM! 

Poster Ideas and Development

Just looking at some poster designs. Getting it done man.

I wanted to use the texture from my sculpture as a background as through sheer dumb look it happened to be made of 101 individual pieces. You know what 101 minus 1 equals... 100 which happens to be the number of years GF Smith paper is celebrating, thats some twilight zone s**t. 

Also considered writing the whole thing in 3D text made from the pages of John Steinbeck's 'The Grapes of Wrath'. The number 1 in this piece is actually made from the 100th page of that book BOOOOM!

Paper Poster Experiments

Just experimenting with paper and type looking for ways to incorporate them into a nice effective poster that will be super freakin' awesome.

Initial Idea

Initial idea was to pile a load of old books and sculpt out the text using a scalpel. Not dissimilar to the work of Brian Dettmer. (More of Brian's work can be seen back in Februarys posts)

Ok so i got my books. Wrote up some text (Courier New) and set out on my way.

This in practice is freakin impossible. Massive respect to Dettmer for doing what he does but i could not do it fo' real. Would have taken at least 2 billion solid man hours.  

This is a real crappy version of how it may have looked lolz. Don't even have the patience to make a half decent photoshop version. GOOD!

Lloyd Stas

Just thought id chuck up a bit more Lloyd Stas stuff.

Posters

Just been looking at posters ain't it. 

This last one is by Lloyd Stas, he tends to recreate movie posters in his own simplistic style that really depicts the key aspects of the movie. His Edgar Wright recreations are pure liquid wonderment!

GF Smith Paper

Got to make a poster celebrating the 100th anniversary of GF smith paper. Obviously the best way to start would be to do a little research into the company.

GF Smith make paper of course. Papers of all sorts sizes weights blah blah.

The designs they use a simple sleek and super cool. Lets go GF Smith PAPER DESIGN!
