What works well?
- I think that changing the men so that they all face the same way works really well, particularly on the offset prints. It is as if they have got up and walked off from their space in the lettering.
- I think that the fact that the men aren't solid fill also works well because the white behind them shows through. It also reflects the rough texture of Giacometti's sculptures well.
What could I have done differently?
- I don't think that I really utilised the white of the paper as well as I could have and it would have been nice to have left more blank space. I think that there is too much colour and it overpowers the image! It would have been more subtle to have left the background white an just done the letters in colour.
- I am also not sure about the red. It works aesthetically but it doesn't really match the subject matter of my poster. It is not a colour that Giacometti uses in any of his work. I wanted to use a softer colour but this is a compromise I had to make because I was sharing a screen. This is definitely something that we should have decided on together before doing our designs.
- This was such a nice brief with so much scope and I think that by focusing on type I maybe limited myself too much. It would have been nice to have done something with image, which would have allowed me to experiment more with half tones and overlapping colour. Having said that, I have never used true and image together in my work and it was fun to explore something new.
How am I going to move forward?
- Skreenprint is definitely something that I want to do more of, now that I have got to grips with how to do it. I think that it is a really good media for me because it forces me to be more selective and to refine my complex designs.
