Below are a few rough potential ideas for the poster's design
- Having tracing paper be physically cut and layered onto the poster to build the translucency of the tracing paper to give depth, stuck with spray mount to provide a clean finish.
- In terms of poster design, large amounts of copy are rarely displayed as posters are meant to be visually engaging and relatively quick to read. To create this, one side could be a 'poster side' whilst the other as the interview. Outlining the rag of the copy as shown below will help prevent the interview showing on the 'poster side'.
- The poster could be made from two individual pages, where the tracing paper, with selected cutouts will be laid on top forming the frame around each element of the content.
Despite these ideas it should be noted that the overall design of the poster should be designed in its entirety rather than splitting it into 2 sides. This is reduce confusion and allow myself to create its design in the perspective of how it will be best seen.
Creating an outline of the poster's design will also help focus its aesthetic.
- The use of only of one typeface, Haas Unica.
- Two weights, light and black, to create explicit contrast.
- Type sizes be in the multiples of 8 or at least 4 to create a design that is entirely based around 'eight' of '8vo' and octavo.
- A 16 by 16 grid which on A1 is approapriate. The size of A1 is chosen because in one of Muir's responses in the interview, he says that proper posters are big and furthermore, when A1 is folded eight times, it creates an A4 page which relates to the size of Octavo, keeping the poster appropriate to their work.
- 4 colours maximum. Black, Grey, Red and White. Black, grey and white are neutral colours that compliment the 'frosted' light grey of the tracing paper. Red is chosen because it has become a recurring colour within my work. This colour can help build a portfolio that is recognisable through its use of red.
