For the final submission I produced a quick design board explaining the concept of the poster alongside the final design flat and in context. Although there were some positive comments made about the design it ultimately wasn't chosen.
The positive feedback focused on the personal touches used in the design, the use of handwriting to give the poster a sense of personality and the use of Picasso drawings; the work of an existing artist, as solid inspiration for the style of the image nicely linked the poster to the art world. Although they said they liked the design the main problem with it was it was too bland, a white simple poster lacked the ability to stand out, despite the positive elements if it's unable to draw attention it fails as a poster. They suggested if it were to be produced in a brighter colour then it might stand out from the background.
Based off of this feedback I went back and made some slight adjustments to the final design giving it a bold yellow background making it stand out far better than the initial white poster. Although I didn't win the challenge and won't be producing anymore posters for events this project was an enjoyable experience and a nice quick simple brief to start the year with and develop my poster design skills further. It also gave me an opportunity to work on a new illustration style which, although messy and chaotic has a certain charm and appeal to it, something which I ended up apply in another project and one I hope to continue to expand.
