Developement

I felt that my final idea was the strongest and have now decided to work more on it to see if it will work. I thought I'd start off by creating a photo montage of the drawings and images of things I would draw to get more of an idea of what it would look like.

After mapping out where I wanted everything to go I realised that I wanted to have Shakespeare and Garrick closer to the viewer. This meant bigger and also I wanted them big enough to be a good size for A5 as the poster was meant to work in A5 as well as A3. This did mean however that I would now have to leave out alot of components I wanted to include with the zombie actors on the stage and so on. After the curtains the title Shakespeare and Garrick there wasn't much room left. my tutor also mentioned about the zombies coming out at the viewer. He thought that by having the hand reach out this worked well but however the hands perspective was wrong and could be larger and coming out more.

I changed that sizing of the hand and drew a rough outline of the hand. I think this does work better and will ajust the drawing to have the larger hand. Also tried including a couple more elements The skulls I feel are a nice addition and will use these. The triangle however I think needs to be taken out. A few people suggested that the liked the rough photo cut look and the white backing. This however wouldn't be very classical of the style that the courtyard has asked for. Maybe I will try to show both to see what they think.

Being as I had already drawn this compoent of the drawing out already I thought it could be useful to draw the image up out of different layers. This was differnt to how I had done it before as I usually try to get it all on one piece of paper. The problem with that is that before if I made a mistake I didn't want to go back and redo the whole drawing. This way I felt more confident of my time.

I drew out the differnt copoents in this two tone affect and then layered them in photo shop. This working process was time saving and alot let stressful than what I am used to.

I then tried out didn't colours and textures on photoshop

After trying out verious ideas I thought I take this one to show as my piece

The client was very pleased with alot of the entries but luckily for me I got picked with a couple of others to be included. I mine was to be included in the courtyard as the poster while someone elses was to be the flying.

The client said that she would show it to the actors in the production to see what they thought and although they liked it they wanted to change the colour of the text to the same as the eyes, as they felt it stood out more. I thought it was a very simple request and was happy to change the design. Photoshop made it very simple and quick to accomplish this.
