Amongst all the hand drawn design approach work i also had a play around with some minimal photo collage compositions, incorporating 80's colour schemes and paint brush marks/speckles. This has given me further decision problems,as i kind of like what I've done! It's certainly different to any of the alternative film poster designs I've come across, and it's also been appealing to those people who haven't even seen the film. They like it purely because of the way the photo elements work with each other on the page, and the neon colours contrasting with the black grungy background. The colour scheme really has gone down well it seems more than i expected it to.
During the class crit, it was suggested by tutors that i should actually stick with the hand drawn direction i originally started out with, and that although very striking and attractive to look at, with a suitable aesthetic - the photo collage is something that "anyone could've come along and done on photoshop". Which is a fair point, but i could easily argue that point by saying "Go look at Jackson Pollock or Joe Cruz's work"(I'm sure there a many more examples) A monkey could've done what Pollock was doing with his paint drips and splats - but the fact is, no-one had done. Another suggestion was to just try and combine the handrawn parts with the composition and colour schemes of the collage, which was the next step of my experimentation and development in order to finalise the design process of the poster (see above), and indeed the other 2 posters as swell, which i've yet to get working on.
