Poster and Program Artwork - Week 2

Continuing with the red brick wall as the background I started to work with the title. I wanted the title to be as colourful as possible, so I decided to have each letter in a different colour. The different colours were also chosen to show diversity which is something I want the audience to recognise with the show and for people to not to misunderstand the show as another performance about the celebration of Christianity.

With that idea I started looking at different graffiti fonts, but many of them were illegible. So I adopted a new approach to use a spray brush tool and write the letters in different drafts. I felt that the words alone left the page a tiny bit empty. This could have been due to the font size or the angle of the title. Nevertheless I tried to fill in the space.

To do this I decided to add people to the poster. I chose to create a silhouette from a group of people jumping for joy. This effect allowed for people to remain anonymous and to also have the effect that the group are easily relate-able to the youth. After doing this design, I immediately didn't like it, as it looked cheesy and I didn't want to give that impression for the show.

While I was completely unhappy with the design as it look cheesy, I did decide that I still wanted to feature the brick wall and I found the font I would like to use as it had a modern Gothic vibe and was a font that wasn't often used.

My aims for next week is to finalise the design and to make it simple and yet modern, and cool.
