After trying out several collaging techniques, I revisited my favourite one - cutting out pieces of people to be used as textures and colours for a completely new image. The faces on the top right are made from Olly Murs' chin...
This is a combination of the skills I learned in SHAPE, building an image from independent shapes before fitting them together, and sourcing images from found materials as collage. There's something creepy about these faces being cut out of real people.
Printing on different coloured paper and using random bits of found type.
Using a stock other than white printer paper made my poster much more vibrant and unusual. I could have used an older or handmade paper to authenticate the age of the poster.
I need to consider composition more and controlling the viewer's attention because I didn't really put much thought into that, more just putting things down where they fit!
Looking at other people's posters in the studio, there were some really inventive and funny posters.
Lots of people have skills in humour and making the audience laugh.
