OUGD503 - Responsive - Studio Brief 02 - Royal Opera House - POSTERS

As the painting were being created so were the posters, using the newly edited scans I was able to put together these posters. 

My aim was to let the image to the talking, the colours, style and quality of the image was all there I just needed to frame it in a poster and make sure it added to the poster rather than taking anything away. 

The use of Gotham type outlined in the Royal Opera House Guidelines allowed the posters to be even more graphic. 

Subtle elegance was what I wanted to show in the designs, this 'less is more' approach hopefully framed the artwork really well. 

One of the harder posters to compose. But the placement of the logos and type adds another dimension to the designs. 

Another very subtle use of typography using the red outline in the colour pallet the group decided on. Once again the artwork being so graphic it was an easy task combining it with type. 

Another extremely playful image, the framing and editing of this image was key in the poster being effective. 

With this poster I suggested colouring all the white space and explained it might look more professional. However Annie disagreed and now I am satisfied with the final results. The white space gives it a more ruff and ready style and ensures its not to polished. 

Again this kind of thing is testing for the group but I have learnt to be really open minded about it, I think this is the way forward. 

My favourite of the posters due to the dynamic use of colour and brilliantly expressive image. Another really enjoyable poster to put together and I feel I have done the artwork justice. 

When looking through the various posters you can see that the type is almost always in a different place, this was a conscious of the poster designs to be more playful. When deciding where it all should go it was a trial and error process but it was important to respond off the artwork and consider what works best with it.    

Another of the more tricky posters to compose, again the artwork is great and is an amazing basis to work from but it was a deceptively challenging poster to create. The area where the large type is highlights the content, the foot position is main part of the poster and has been highlighted through this.

A more dynamic image that needed framing more than anything. The composition lets the image be the focus yet remains engaging and informative. 

The final poster again the half and half styling was a challenge but The positioning reflects the interesting content on show. 

Overall I have really really enjoyed working on these posters and it is credit to the illustrations as they are what made it. All the group members were really pleased with the results and I was too, I hope that these posters will really work alongside the animation as intended.
