BIONICLE: Ta-Wahi Travel Poster - [PROTOTYPE]

In a graphic design course dedicated to Adobe Illustrator, we were tasked to make vacation spot posters in the style of the ones from the 1950's. Our professor said it could be fictional, or even a real place we're fond of. Part of the assignment was to use the Symbol Sprayer, repetition of shapes, and the Warp Tool.

First thing that came to mind for me was a location in Bionicle, such as Ta-Wahi Beach, the first place you wake up to as Takua in Mata-Nui Online Game.

I wouldn't be surprised if the assets of MNOG were made in Illustrator and/or Flash (which I think the latter once belonged to MacroMedia at the time if we really wanna talk about feeling old).

Will I make other posters for the other Koro's/Wahi's? Um... it sounds like having them all together would be really cool, but if I do, I kinda wanna revise this current one and learn to have an easier time making them and/or possibly make them a little more straightforward and easy to make out. Definitely should go for the classic TradeMarker font if I do (since this isn't an assignment anymore, let alone one being monitored/graded by a professor who also teaches typography :p)

Made in 2022.

An incomplete piece of concept art I found in my 2018 folder of Jalka [Jaller] and the different military ranks for fire villagers ["Toronaita"].

The notes at the bottom is me trying to divide military personnel into different ranks and see how many people would be needed, at minimum, for a semi-functioning military organization.

Lore/Worldbuilding: Fire Village + Military

All fire villagers are trained in military combat, with each citizen needing to complete a tour of duty for 2/3 of the year on a rotating schedule [with some exceptions]:

4 months of farming [various foods grown throughout the year]

4 months of stationary/reserve duty at the village,

4 months of scouting/island/"military for hire" duty across the region

Hairstyle determines the social position and/or military rank of citizens in Toronaita civilization. Those with more complex and/or lengthy hairstyles have been awarded specific honours in combat or military service, and as such, they are not required to shave their heads after their annual duty is complete.

Hairstyle 1: Civilian/Farmer hair

Hairstyle 2: Shaved head at the end of annual service [i.e. transition back to civilian duties]

Hairstyle 3: Traditional military service hairstyle, low rank

Hairstyles 4, 5, 6: Various military awards, honours, or rankings given in service [incomplete]

However, wearing braids, twists, or dreads in the hair without being given the right by a superior officer is a major offence and is akin to plagiarism or self-awarding badges of honour.

The best part of visiting Ta-Koro is always seeing these guys.

This proves to be the case when the Av-matoran decide to split from the mainland of Spherus Magna and try to make it on their own, taking Takanuva with them. Takanuva, not thrilled on how thinks were left between his Ta-koro friends is not in a rush to head home but when duty calls he will need to make his peace with his old friends and his new feelings.
