I was constricted in this task because I was only allowed to use two fonts, the fonts being Gill Sans and Times. I was unable to distort the fonts in anyway however I was allowed to change the sizes. I had to trace each individual letter making the task incredibly time consuming yet some how therapeutic. I used a black fine liner to make each letter sharp and professional looking. The idea of the workshop was to create A5 posters displaying a fact about climate change.
I am hoping to go into Interior Design in the future and I really enjoy putting things together to create an interesting final outcome. I think it was because of this reason that I really enjoyed displaying my facts in an interesting way.
I was really happy with the way the workshop played out, and I liked the fact that although I was constricted in some ways I still had freedom with the layout.
I then experimented free hand on A1 paper. I took one of the facts from earlier and using a paint brush, and a thin piece of cardboard with some black and red paint, created a large poster. This gave me more freedom as I didn't have specific fonts to work with. Although this made my work look less professional, I think it made it more emotive, linking to the fact that anyone can make a difference when it comes to climate change, not just the professionals.
