When the A2 copies of my poster were put on the wall, straight away I could see that the grunge lettering was blending in too much with the background and need a lot more contrast. Overall, the comment to the class was the make everything brighter so it stands out from the crowd, a very important aspect when it comes to designing a poster.
I went through and added a bright yellow and red to the three render variations I had and then re-evaluated. After gathering others opinions I settled on going forward with my grunge concept as everyone felt this one worked the best and expressed the more sinister aspect of cyber bullying. The background colour I went for was the sickly yellow and it is very bright and is also one of the first colours you see so definitely would stand out from a distance. This colour initially came from the gold handle but the colour it is now is almost unsettling making the viewer uncomfortable and also getting them to think more to what the poster is really about.
SO MANY PRINTER MARES I CAN"T EVEN EXPLAIN.
Massey server crashed again so couldn't print out what I had developed to look at it bigger so I had to make do with my laptop screen (not the best at all).
I had a lot of trouble deciding on a suitable handle for this as I had a conflicting opinion on what other told me.The feedback I received is that neither the vector handle or the filtered realistic handle matched well with the typography and it was suggested I look at mimicking the grunge effect on the handle as well. Personally, I thought the grunge blended to much into the type making it one image rather than letting the type stand out on its own. However, I ended up finding a happy medium between grunge and realistic, going completely away from vector.
need to re evaluate title a body copy placement and design
