Thursday Week 5 Plus Weekend

Work during Thursday class and development work over the weekend:

Changed/worked on the body typed text, making it standout out, easier to read and not look so awkward. Instead of just having white text, I've made the text black with a yellow block behind the text to make it stand out. This is then complimented/contrasted with smaller white body text underneath.

Big changes on this poster, have dropped the skin colour and edited photographic look, and gone for a a very graphic, stylised thresholded look. I found this made the colours of the hair, lips and tie pop and stand out more. Have played with the text a lot on this poster, by mistake i came across this high saturated shocking pink colour that actually worked well with my image. Reminds me of a suicide squad picture with the colour scheme, creates a sort of rebellious punk feel about it. Ive made the main text merge behind the head of Winston, then overlapped with the secondary title "Racism is no joke?. Then balanced the composition with a block of pink merged behind Winston's chin. I think it is looking much better, maybe not refined but definitely stepped up a notch or two in design style.

Hopefully now just a little more fine tuning, finalising and final touch ups to be done during Mondays class so I am ready to print on Tuesday!
