Design Lecture Poster Iterations 1

Prior to Critique: Below are my first digital sketches of my poster for April Greiman. My focus was on the angles of the building and the text lock up. I still think about making some more changes to color and text weights for the next iterations. 

Post Professor Marty + Five Juniors(Sam M, Patrick, McKenzie, Abby + Ivan) Critique Notes:
  • "Go Bananas," says Marty.
    • Marty can pull me back but not push me far out
  • Have image inspire text, not a simple combination
  • Think interactive layers
  • Work on legibility
  • Treat text as image
  • April is picky about type alignment with image
  • Potential color scheme is California landscape colors
  • "Make them friends and play with them," says Sam M.
    • Mix typefaces(don't stay one note)
  • Cut out the building
  • Layer text and image
  • Make text much smaller
  • Work with pixels
  • Do more with the images than just overlap
    • bitmap, halfton, pixelate, cut out
  • Add color to text
  • Find a moment of tension focus
