The Reflect brief for LCA End of Year Party, was a chance for me to do a quick live brief! I found out about the brief late, which only gave me the afternoon to complete a poster. I enjoy working under pressure and from my experience of working industry you do only have short timeframes to complete things. Being able to work under pressure and priotise work is something I pride myself on.
I looked at posters produced in 1990s such as posters for Fantazia Raves. They are a great example of visual imagery and surrealism! As I only had an afternoon, I had to source my own imagery instead of creating my own. By using 90’s imagery it was relevant as the 90’s seems to be back in fashion.
The brief improved on my layout and type skills. I wanted to create a contemporary modern poster with an element of interest by using eye-catching surreal imagery. I wanted the type to be clear and easy to read as well as appealing to my target audience of designers and creative students, sometimes simple works best. I wanted all the information to be clear and easy read with the sponsors at the bottom.
From my final entry to Leeds College of Art Student Union you can see I have kept to a clear and minimal design, this is because I am appealing to a creative young audience of designers. Despite only spending an afternoon on this brief I am happy with what I have produced, especially as poster design really is not my forte, I feel I have stepped out of my comfort zone with this brief.
