We all had to do a poster for the festival each.
I wanted to take the idea of bringing the viewer of the poster into the artwork and the process of creating it, much like the visitor will be able to see the the artwork and the process of creating it all around them at the festival. I used photoshop as a background and put funky text over it to achieve this effect.
Here is the poster in the process of making it.
However, I didn't want to leave it here because it looked too simple, not interesting enough. Therefore, I added some bits of pictures of diploma work that I found, some of them popping out of the photoshop document onto the desktop - this gives an idea of what might be included if one were to visit the festival and helps persuade them to go to it.
It was awkward to read having the writing facing two different directions, so I took them off to reput them in in a better fashion. I also added more pictures, after lots of searching the reference drive for things to include and cutting them out of the original photos they were in using photoshop.
To finish, I put the original text back in, but in different places that would read and look better, and as I couldn't find any other pictures of diploma work from a unit that I'd not already displayed, I put a filmreel in the place where I might put them instead, which looks good.
I moved the title text up so it was easier to read too, as advised to.
The finished poster is below:
