Artist Statement
This was the best project in my opinion, it's the one that I'm most proud of showing to others. I don't think it was too hard once I got the hang of it in Adobe Illustrator. However, I could see that there are a few changes I would make now looking back. First, I would perhaps draw legs at the end of the skirt even though the original didn't because it looks as though I don't have any in this poster. Second, I wanted the waves at the bottom to look like the sea but it doesn't really so I would try to find a better solution. Other than those two critics, I think I did I really good job in other aspects such as the color scheme and propaganda message.
I've traveled since I was 2 weeks old and I think it's something that everyone should experience so that's why I chose to use Mamma Mia's message of seeing the world. The photo I used was from this summer which was perfect. I added the globes so that people can understand that the world is bigger than we could ever expect. Additionally, I used the two minimalistic movie posters above as inspiration; Breakfast at Tiffany's: the two shades & Mamma Mia: the color pattern.
That final design is so cool. Its art style is so unique and interesting while not being so hard to remember. I also like how the colors give a relaxed and nostalgic vibe, at least to me. It really helps push your message. Really cool!
ReplyDeleteI remember looking at your design while in class and thinking, "Wow, please Professor Roundtree, DO NOT SHOW MINE NEXT!" Having took yourself leaning on the railing and changing it to a round globe was done extremely well! I like the style that you went for with the minimalist details to where the design almost looks like a tattoo.
