Final Poster Design
This is my final poster design.
We printed them on Munken paper. in A2 & A3
I printed mine on Munken Pure A3 170gsm paper for the warmer colour for the A3 version. The colour fits with the natural theme.
Left is the Munken Pure and right is the Munken Polar. ^^
Here is what the A2 poster looked like hung up in the 1st yr graphics room.
Lydia gave me some good feedback about resizing the whole thing and possibly trying to counteract the border that was imposed on everyone's images while printing. This border isn't clearly visible on my piece as the background is white already but I can see how it's a bit offset on to the left which is frustrating. However due to time constraints I was only able to try making the piece smaller digitally, and I agree it looks better as it's easier on the eye.
I understand how easily you can just continue to work and edit these pieces forever due to things like this, just endlessly tweaking variations.
Overall I'm relatively satisfied with my design, as visually it looks good however in speaking to others I'm aware of some confusion surrounding what actually is the central image, while visually striking it might be unclear to be raw honeycomb clustered together. In future because of the importance of visual communication in graphic design I'd aim to be clearer to the viewer. I was aiming here to show the anthropocene weighing down on the natural world, specifically with bees (or pollinators) that's why I chose to use the circular text
