Tuesday 11th September

Today was all about creating a campaign poster for something that we believe in. I thought about something that I am passionate about, and I thought about how I worked over my entire summer holidays, doing 8 hour shifts every day, with maybe 1 full day off a week, not even that. I felt proud of myself because I would be able to support myself financially when I started university, and so far I have.

This is my prototype:

I really love this typography because it is suggesting that even the 2Ps should still matter towards money. I know that quite a lot of people just get rid of the 1Ps and 2PS, however if we collected them each time instead of throwing them on the ground or at the bottom of our bags, they could add up to a couple of quid a week maybe.

I really loved the opacity of the coloured image, because it shows that we can end up with a lot of 2PS if we saved us. I am going to be doing my entire typeface looking like the above photograph and editing each one induvuially which I am really looking forward too. I am going to be doing the uppercase lettering as I felt that this would be more effective. If I have time, which I am hoping that I will, I am going to do the lower case lettering as-well.

I have a lot of sketch book work to catch up on tomorrow, as I spent a little bit too much time researching into my idea, which may not have been the wisest choice to do. However, I am able to learn from my mistakes.

The designers I looked into was

Duane Dalton, Barbara Kruger and Andy Warhol. I am currently researching into a campaign called ‘Yeah, Kinda Rich’, which will be a page in my sketch book.

I am going to make sure that on my extended version of todays blog, that I will include copies of my sketch book work. I will be having a catch up day tomorrow.
