Reflection/ feedback

I put this poster up in my local shopping centre and watched people as they viewed it. Most people smiled, which I’m glad it sparked a positive response in them.

I’ve learnt a few things from this independent project, but most of all, I learnt that I can come up with an idea for something quite cool (in my opinion anyway) out of somewhere completely random. I really enjoyed the process of this task. I think each stage was relevant to the final product and it was exciting coming up with new ideas.

Reflection questions

“Is it a creative and successful design solution?”

I think it is quite creative. I love how it turned out - especially how it was a mix of computer generated and hand made. I think that really adds to the creative part of this poster.

“What does it communicate?”

It tells the person thats looking at it that no matter how old something may be, it needs to be repaired before the new can come about (not necessarily in a literal sense).

“Will it evoke a positive or negative response, when viewed by other people?”

I hope that it will evoke a positive response when viewed. I think it’s quite a cute image and hope that others will think the same.

“How effective is your visual message, and will it make people think about what it is you are trying to express in your design work?”

I definitely think this poster will get people thinking about what it means, as at first it may seem quite obvious, but it can spark a deeper meaning in some people.

Reflection

My goal for this project was to create a poster to remind people that music has always been there and will always be. The concept of this poster was to form a juxtaposition between old and new. I wanted it to involve something musical because I LOVE music. So, I decided the old element would be a cassette tape and the new element would be a robot. Therefore, I created a robot cassette tape, wearing a button down shirt.

I printed and hand cut out the clothing and stuck it onto the page. I want to have a collage feel for this poster, and I think this adds a cute touch to it.
