Posters

This is work that I did for my graphics art course that I just finished. We were assigned a modern graphic artist to research about, and had to make 3 posters (12"x 20") to advertise an art exhibit (including a theme): collage, typography, and photography. I was assigned Bradbury Thompson.

The fish, air bubbles, boat and fishing line with letter J hook were from an original piece the artist made. I photo-shopped out the fishing line made of words, added exhibit info and a highlighted background there instead. There used to be several rows of text in the original image between the boat and fish. I filled the space with artist name and two lines of a mini-tag line in green ("Experiment with everything"-a quote from him).

This was the original artwork from the artist, Bradbury Thompson.

This was loosely based off the artist's original work  He had made a face using only letters to mimic an African mask.  I tried to make a "face"  using letters, but also added overlapping and multiple angles to convey  movement, as if they were falling.

This was the original artwork from the artist, Bradbury Thompson, that I used for inspiration.The alphabetized face was based off the masks on the right.

This was completely my own idea. I had to take photos to use in the poster. I chose a slinky, since I felt it represented the word "motion" rather well.

This is one of the kids' slinky. I was laying on the floor, looking up, while the slinky was moving up and down. Somehow, I managed to get a photo of it on my phone, one-handed with the hand that wasn't holding the slinky. Coolest assignment ever. All the kids wanted to help that day, including a neighbor who was visiting.

This is a cropped version, modified to black and white. My final poster version used this image rotated 180°.
