Studio Brief 02 - Interim Crit

After feedback from the interim crit, it became apparent that the strongest ideas were the chalked stage on the ground, as it added a third dimension, also the images made on excel, that represent the places around Leeds, where the shows have been performed. Ideas to develop this idea further was to maybe merge these two ideas together, experimenting with photocopy overlays, to create more of a puzzle, and interesting design, to make the audience think. The idea was to experiment with the photocopier, taking single colours from CMYK and experimenting with overlaying. 

 Further feedback was about the colours, and that the blue was too subtle, due to the industrial nature of their building they practice in and the areas they perform in, to change the colours to more industrial, rural colours, more dark and dirty colours.  Experiment more with the excel drawings, trying out different sizes and zooming in on parts of it. 

Another idea which was favourited was the texture of the water, maybe to overlay textures that are found in the places they have performed, and overlaying these on the photocopier, using single colours and using photoshop to mock what the screen print would look like up. The compass could be made bigger to show how diverse they are in their performance. 

To develop these ideas further, I will experiment with overlaying existing images and different colours and textures and also experiment with different colours, therefore portraying more of the grungy, industrial environment of Leeds and the environments that Slung Low perform in. 

Foiling was also an option to try, adding and creating new textures, and adding a unique aspect to the design, making the text stand out. 

Also the material in which the design will be printed on, exploring different materials, such as discovering materials that are found within the areas outside, and maybe printing on or over existing posters found in and around Leeds. 

Other ideas to consider, are creating perforated edged paper to create free tickets, to the event or celebration, due to the nature of Slung Low's performances.  Therefore the posters can be found in and around Leeds and tickets can be taken by anyone for free, for people from all different ages and background. Therefore the audience become apart of the show and also the poster then becomes interactive.
