First, let me say that I was pleasantly surprised at school yesterday. I found my End Censorship poster in the small, small one-day student exhibit on campus. I also found my poem poster in the glass showcase in the hallway. I feel a little embarrassed, but also feel good to be accepted, still somehow lack confidence in myself. Oh well. LOL
Turned in the mock Disney Concert Hall poster this week. We were to introduce Gustavo Dudamel as the new conductor of Los Angeles Philharmonic with a poster in International Typographic Style. I think most of us were really confused by the instructions and material. There seemed to be a bit of conflict between the amount of info and the simple and clean style of the Swiss designers. I emailed the professor my first draft and received a horrible reaction. She then sent out more instructions to the classes, which in my view clarified a lot about what she was expecting. A good exercise in designer and client communication, getting to understanding what clients want.
Anyway, I ended up with 2 designs:
I turned in the first one because its elements have more dynamics.
