Best few posters

 These are the posters that I think turned out the best out of all my experiments...

Collage poster

After looking at David Carson i wanted to try a collage type piece. I found it difficult finding images that were gender mutual, but i picked these few to play around with.

I just played around with the colour and opacity and added the word Equality

I don't think this really worked so I used the same images (at the top) and these few below and started to experiment again.

In Photoshop I used the font "Impact" and cut out small sections of the images I had collected.

I then added some other text in plain black. i was trying to get across that you shouldn't see the difference in equality.

I like the layout here but don't think the message makes sense.

Scrumpled paper poster

I printed the word equality on an A4 page and then crumpled it up. I positioned it in different ways to see which gave the best effect

In Photoshop I cleaned up the edge of the page and also the edges of the letters because it had gone a bit blurry. I also changed the brightness and contrast to make the shadows stand out.

Stencil development

I scanned all my images of the stencils into Photoshop so I could work on them.

I used the lasso tool to go around all the letters because the stencil I had created got a bit messy.

I put each letter into a new document and then changed the brightness and contrast to make the letters stand out a bit more. 

Then I messed around with the layout and sizing of the words.

I think this one looks the best.

Messing around with filling the whole page here

Not sure if i like the couple above? Maybe a bit cluttered.

What we done in class!

A bit of human typography 

What i done in class...

I didn't really like the fonts that were on photoshop so i had a bit of a nosey on the internet and found a nice  website about typography, along the side there is fonts and this one stood out.

And now I'm just messing around with the layout

And colours...

I decided to go with black because the colour wasn't really working for me.

History of Collage

A collage (From the French: coller, to glue) is a work of formal art, primarily in the visual arts, made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole. Use of this technique made its dramatic appearance among oil paintings in the early 20th century as an art form of groundbreaking novelty.
An artistic collage work may include newspaper and magazine clippings, ribbons, fabrics or other textiles, bits of colored or hand-made papers, portions of other artwork, photographs, and such, glued to a piece of paper or canvas.
