Week 5 - Session Two

Today's class was based on more class critiques, for those who didn't have time to present yesterday or who were absent from Monday's class. It was interesting to see just how everyone's work had been developing over the past week.

At the end of class, I asked Caroline for some quick feedback on my new Bulldog poster, which I had edited last night based on yesterdays feedback, and I have attached an image of the poster below:

The above poster is a refined version of one of my A2's that I presented during yesterday's critique. I have changed the background colour to suggest more of a 'fight for freedom' than the black which is often associated with being dark and with death. I have changed the typography to more suit the vector based stylistic approach to the poster, and have also played around with changing the dogs eyes, and also the expression on the Kiwi's face. Caroline suggested to play around with where the kiwi is looking, as at the moment it looks like he is looking off of the page, which may have different connotations and be perceived differently compared to if he was looking at the dog and fighting to escape. I am also considering adding some drool to the bulldogs mouth, as it's a common feature for the stereotypical British Bulldog.

With this being said, I wil play around with refining and developing this poster (as well as my other A2 poster) before printing later on in the week. I really like how they are both coming along, and am excited to see the finished outcome.
