First Entry

    

We did a one week project at school two weeks ago. The theme was “The strange case of Mr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde“. I decided to make posters with Carina, because this is what we can do best.
On Monday we only sketched out some ideas. Some of my group mates started to design their posters on pcs. However, all my ideas were still in my head! I wanted to make a photorealistic poster first, but on Tuesday it turned out to be something of a challenge. I liked my idea a lot, to take of photo of a coin in a mirror, that shows both sides of the main character(s) – “one man, two faces“. But that coin was so finely detailed that in the end it only worked as a flyer.
For the following two days I tried it again. My result was a clear and typographic poster. I liked this poster as well, but I still think my first idea was more creative.
I felt honoured that some of our design teachers were delighted with my poster. I still don’t understand why, because typography with used fonts is not as good as typography with self designed fonts. Do you get it? It’s about the design you did by yourself. I just put the words in a random order.
Anyway, I think this week was a success, because I met new people and did two likable posters, my semester 1 certificate was good and I started the weekend earlier than I’m used to.

The others will send me their posters tomorrow... stay tuned!
