Week 4.2

 In Class

In class today I continued working on the fish and chips poster. I was feeling instantly much more inspired and I found that the ideas flowed to me quickly, and I didn't go through many iterations at all until I found one that I liked.

This took me a good hour to get to a standard I was happy with, then I tiled and printed at A1. 

The feedback I received was mainly good which I'm pleased about as I was feeling pretty lost. My feedback was to make the title bigger, the body copy smaller as well as removing the overrule, to photograph actual chips so that I wasn't using 3 different mediums (photography, gestural paint strokes, digital drawing), and maybe to integrate the tampon more into the pile of chips rather than just sitting on top.  I also need to make the logo of the client white, and sit it underneath the body copy or in line with it so it feels like it relates to the text and isn't just sitting weirdly by itself. Donald also didn't think the paper actually looks like the paper you'd get your chips in, even though it is so maybe I could do something different with it when I take the next photograph.

The background texture was working for Andre as he liked the way it related to the word 'cheap'. It reminded him of concrete floors, and sitting on the floor to eat fish and chips. For me it reminds me of the mess of eating chips from paper, especially with the tomato sauce and crumbs going everywhere. All in all I think this poster is working well, and now I need to go back and fix up my previous chips poster.
