A2 Poster Crit 2

A2 Poster Crit 2

Today I had another crit for my poster designs. All five designs were judged by my peers and they helped me select the few I should take forward for the final designs. Most of the feedback was relatively positive and there weren't many negative comments for any of the designs.

The first two that looked really similar were the groups favourite and also possibly mine as well. The feedback I received for them was to combine together into one ultimate design. They also recommended that I screen print it which I would like to do depending on if I have the time to do so. At first I wandered what would happen to the fuzzy effect on the design when it is expanded to A2, but the others said that it would make it look even better. They finally said that I should perhaps make one really busy design in the style and one simple one with just type and no images.

The second one I will take further is the super pixelated pink one. My peers seemed to really like the concept behind this one and especially behind the plain type based one also. My idea is to perhaps combine those two into one. Maybe by making it more pixelated it could turn out better.

Here is the so far final production of this design. This is obviously the busy version. I really like how it turned out and it's obviously very similar to the others, but with aspects of the both. Now I need to figure out if I'll screen print or digital print this. I also need to decide a correct paper stock for the job.

This is the further pixelated design which I tried to make to unattractive that it was good. I managed to incorporate the cut up type from the previous design and include it, however I don't know if it fits quite that well. The type isn't as pixelated ad the numbers in the central so I could either start all over again or go with the simplistic type design.
