This semester at MECA part 4…
olan boardman alum poster
lisa ferreira alumni poster
So this is my last entry in my series of posts about my first semester work. This is the first assignment I had at school. We had to make posters for an alumni show. I was stuck with some very busy pictures, but I learned a bit about inserting text into a picture where I didn’t think that I could. I tried as much as possible to let my image itself dictate how I placed the text I needed into it. The goal, for my series of posters anyway, was to make the text appear as if it belonged to the picture. In the top image I noticed that she had alot of pictures on the wall that made boxes in the background. I saw that I could put my text in boxes, and so made the texts and the boxes the same colors as her clothes. I spent along time pondering the solution and could not think of a better solution.
The next poster required a little more thought. Unless I added a box on the side I would not be able to place any type in the image at all. I took a floral texture that I found at Bittbox here, because I thought that it tied in nicely with the elements in the picture. The type itself is called Powell Antique, and again I thought it fit with the image. I think that the posters are a success. They were received quite nicely. I hope that my work will be received nicely here on the web as well. More schoolwork to come as my new semester starts Monday January 11.
