stations of the day, the project beginnings

For this project we chose a partner and pulled our topic to be used out of a “hat.” Our project is to visually show a how-to that relates to our topic that was chosen. My partner is Wendy Vong and our how-to topic is yoga poses. The final outcome is to be on a 2 page, 12-inch by 12-inch spread InDesign document.

After our discussion with Professor Kidwell our direction was more so solid. We know that we will be going forward with the use of a split document – one page being yoga poses for the day and the other for night. Illustration wise we are advancing with the use of halftone images. Although halftones may label a specific period in time, we have noticed the use of halftones in current society. Our audience is the current 18-25 year old female population; thus we are choosing a visual aesthetic that is currently mainstream.

Above are the yoga poses that we plan to use for our poster. Our thoughts are to reshoot the poses and then halftone them, adding spots of color to add emphasis to certain parts of the moves. Above is also our chosen color palatte for day and night.
