Studio Brief 1 Research and Initial Ideas

The poster itself must answer four questions:
What are two things I have engaged with?
What are two things have not enjoyed?
What are two things I have learnt?
What are my aims and ambitions for level 5?

This content can either be displayed visually, or is as text; I would like my poster to feature a key image as a focal point, and then use text to describe my points. I believe that this will be the best way to get across the information I want to, in a concise way, that is informative and descriptive.

I began by investigating what information I should have on my poster through a mind map, from which I could narrow down what points I thought would be most important to bring up on the poster to best interpret my self-reflection.



To begin my visual research into my poster design I began by researching into the type of poster design that appealed to me. These are some examples which I found particularly visually pleasing, found in design inspiration. Before looking at the content, I picked these images of the posters appealed to me from a solely visual point of view. As can be seen from these examples I'm drawn towards minimalist design, most of the posters have an image or text as part of a focal point, to which the content relates to. On all posters here the images remain the largest part of the page, the information follows fitting around said image; or on top of it, to give the desired effect. This is concept which I would like to take into consideration with my poster design. The type that has been selected for each of the posters is also relevant to the context, and affected by the imagery; for example, the more modernist pieces feature modern typefaces such as Helvetica. Whereas in the third example the imagery used gives more of an art deco effect, thus the typeface must reflect as such; this is another element to take into consideration when designing my poster.
