Personal work

I really loved doing the collage and paint work with my Shakespeare project, I decided to do some personal illustration work. Really like how it's come out. I used acrylic paint, fine liner, charcoal and spray paint.

Combination

I decided to see what it would look like if I combined both posters. I multiplied the layers and erased away some areas so it was seamless. Again I used the same text as previously.

Deer and Stag

I used the Letter press title that I put on my other poster as well as some of the text at the bottom. I re-drew a lot of the text making it more hand-rendered rather than just hand-written. I feel much happier with the look of these posters.



Posters Re-visited

So I decided to revisit the collage idea, looking at Rauschenberg's posters again to re-familiarise myself with his work. I am much happier with the look of these posters. They have more energy and movement to them.

I pages from magazines and different bits of paper for a collage background and printed off the pictures of me in the masks for the foreground. I then used acrylic paint to add colour around the character.



Photo Posters

My tutors thought that the photos were stronger than my collage poster and suggested I try some things with them.
I used Photoshop to add text to the image.


I used some of the text from the collage poster I had done before. I'm not that keen on them to be honest. I think they look a bit amateurish.



I used the collage poster in the background of this one.
Not liking the look of them.
