Posters

 

Once I had decided on the possible subjects I could do for my Masters, we needed to create a set of three posters to describe the possible areas we could go in. Because I had one overarching area that cemented the possible areas, that being the sea, I decided that for each of the posters the background or main colour used should be a blue for the sea. I didn't just want to have the backgrounds be just one blue colour, instead I wanted to create a gradient of blues and greens as these would represent the sea better. Along with this because I wanted to create these posters by hand, using the computer very little, I decided to make the background using a technique where you take tissue paper and wet it on the paper with a sponge then the ink will seep through onto the paper and create this really interesting and sea like texture that works really well for what I wanted it for.

As you can see the water and tissue paper technique creates this really interesting and water like texture that gets the idea of the sea across in the poster really well. I think out of all three my favourite is the calming waves, while I like the design I think the idea behind it works better than the other two, I think doing a project on how being by the sea can be calming and a pleasurable experience could work really well.
