Experimenting with NPG 2

Examples of the images on the coloured background and how they will work without their own colour. I want to use the colour blue to compliment the cleanliness of the gallery itself, I feel green/brown would hint towards a natural exhibition or museum.

After designing on paper my current idea to create a light hearted pamphlet  detailing some of the images and collections within the NPG, I began considering to draw more recognizable and distinguishable figures. I chose to use an image of someone from a notable time.

Amy Whinehouse

Hitchcook

And each one of the Beatles

More Darkside Poster ideas

For the further Darkside events, below are some of the further designs created which will be used monthly for each event.

Again focusing on the detail of the female figure in a vectored for, I feel these work well as a set alongside the original.

Playing around with the way the text sits on the banner and the different fonts used.

The same again but with a neater curve on the type.

More Memphis Belle Logo Ex.Finalised

I really think the effect of a two banner style design on the illustration works better than the one, it also gives the text more emphasis and allows the illustration to work in the background. I still want to play about with the text to perfect it but this is the finalized general layout of it.

More Memphis Belle Logo Ex.

After a recent tutorial, it became apparent that while the logo did look nice its focus is more on the illustration rather than the actual promotion of the shop, that the title of the shop was too small and overpowered by the image, so I've chosen to experiment with the position of the banner and the size of the text to change the focus from being solely on the illustration.

Original idea.
