I started from a drawing that I made. Then I used brush for making the outline of the face, I had a lot of problems in trying to make the illustrator drawing look like the original drawing.
Then I had some trasparency and a small paper texture and the text.
i like this nice simple design with the big floating head. its a very simplistic design. i think the only thing i don't like about it is the piece of white next to his right ear i think its probably unnecessary. also some textures could have been cool to see, especially in the hat and bow-tie. great job!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm a little bored by this. I would love to see more textures and maybe something more than just his face? There is also a misspelling " In "is" greatest comedy." Perhaps doing more variations in sketches before you start would help with composition. Maybe try looking at other posters and replicating their compositions too. It doesn't mean you necessarily have to use it, but it might help you think in a different way. Maybe you can mix and match some ideas from different compositions.
ReplyDeleteThere's an interesting moment that's happening with the ear that catches my eye. I don't quite know if it's a mistake but I feel like there's some interesting opportunities to play with that overlap that remind me of Eleanor Davis' work. Especially this comic she did: http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/eden-4.jpg
ReplyDeleteI agree that I think some papery textures could have looked really nice in there, however I think the simplicity of the design works really well, and the font especially lends itself to the era. There's also something about this poster, and I think it might be the lack of credits at the bottom, that makes it look more like a poster for a play and less like an actual film poster. (I dont know much about posters and their structure from this time period, so maybe i'm wrong) Other than that, it looks really good!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate the color use in this, and I think they're really reminiscent of that era in filmmaking. I can agree with Nikki in that it's a little plain, and there are also some odd things happening with the type, such as the large gap between "modern" and "times". I think I'd also reduce the gap between "Charlie" and "Chaplin". The thin white border around the image is cool though
ReplyDeleteI agree with the comments above. I do like how simple it feels, but I think that textures may help and emphasize the piece more! I like your choice of font, I think it fits nicely with the subject of your poster. It might be fun to play around with the placement of your objects.
ReplyDeleteThis has such a nice, classic feeling to it! I love the color choice and the way you've composed the image. It's simple and is easy to read. The red type is a nice addition I think that you could see what it would look like to add a paper texture to this design? Maybe the font that you use for his name could be related to the font that says "Modern Times" -- but maybe thinner? The reason I say that is that you'l be able to control the hierarchy of what you read first. Right now they're very similar in size. The last thin I'd mention is that I love what you did with his ear - letting the color overlay kind of bring another graphic element into the piece. If you decided to do this anywhere else, maybe just in one other place on the piece, (Maybe the bowtie?) It could be interesting to see!
