Greene+Poster+Research



Poster #1: I think this poster has a great composition with the turquoise words creating leading lines through the whole entire poster and touching the edges of it. The elements color and shape I feel are the strongest about this poster. The colors work really well together blending in the background to make the words pop out. I also think all the shapes work very well together with the text as well. The typography at the top tells the viewer what when and where the event is being held place and doesn't subtract any of the viewers attention from the main point which is the larger text and the shapes and overall design.

Poster #2: For this poster I think the purpose of it is really clear and does a great job of telling the viewer what its about, where it is, and when it is. It doesn't go right out and say it is a concert but you can tell by the words and also the shapes and illustrations on it. I love how everything is mostly black and then they have spots of lime green and orange to draw your attention. All of the illustration and shapes go together well and it uses line to create where your eye will follow. I think the typography was utilized well too and it fits the other shapes in the poster as well.The craftsmanship was amazing to and you can tell they spent a lot of time getting the right placement of shapes too.

Poster #3: The last poster does a phenomenal job at illustrating what they are trying to say. The typography tells the viewer what the poster is saying and also explains a little bit about the illustration at the top. With the typography it also uses color to match with the illustration which makes the whole poster fit together instead of looking cut up. The colors all work really well together and the shape of the colors is then used to create a child. The composition was done very well with the lines of the child's shoulder leading the viewers eyes to the typography.

Illustrations

All of the photographs above would be considered illustrations and not fine art because the illustrations were made for a t shirt design specifically for people to wear. The difference between an illustration and fine art is that an illustration is made for a specific client or more to be reproduced more than once but fine art has a specific intention to display emotion of a feeling and is made once and not reproduced more the once.

Illustration #1: The first illustration is very cool with all the colors and shapes and I would say this illustration markets the concept of imagination and how the girl sitting in water imagines the waves floating up into colors. Illustration #2: The next illustration has a very cool idea using Medusa and the snakes of her hair. This illustration would be really cool for a t shirt or the story of Medusa. Illustration #3: The final illustration could either market a music t shirt for a band or perhaps a logo for a fashion designer.
