Pyramid
I found this and its reference for my text poster. I was trying to explain how things being high up, and in this case on top of some sort of pyramid, to have an importance. In this poster you can see stairs like most conventional Egyptian pyramids have. When you think of someone of importance you think of them to be 'High up' or in most stereotypical circumstances, the boss of a company being at the very top of a building. I hope this sort of explains my point!

Heart Idea
"Here's a quick medical heart illustration sketch I was working on. There's an ekg reading flowing through and around the heart. The sketch is incomplete, but in essence, that's what a sketch is I guess- incomplete. It's more of a study really"- FERNANDO MEDINA
Fernando Madina is an illustrator/ graphic designer that I found on http://www.fernandocreative.com/ which is an awarding winning website dedicated to graphic design.
The reason why I want to to involve a hard is because there is also a saying "Honesty comes from the heart". For my IMAGE AND TYPE I want to draw a heart.
Unfortunately, I lost the website for this image as I found it awhile ago but this just so happens to be the foundation of my heart illustration on my IMAGE POSTER and my TEXT & IMAGE POSTER.
I never wanted to illustrate a real heart for two reasons. 1) It would take a really long time (NEVER REALLY AN ISSUE) and 2)- It would end up most probably looking much to realistic for my posters. That could have worked but at the end of the day I just wanted to create something simple and this piece of reference above is just perfect! The text in the middle doesn't mean anything to me and the 'Change' in the bottom righthand corner. The colours also but the red ended up suiting my posters quite a lot. To look at my poster on my DESIGN PRACTISE click HERE.
From this I got the idea to use the baby blue because it has nice conventions and connections to heaven and god. Quite quickly I decided to go with the red as i thought it linked more with the body and the heart. The deisgn is by Frank Chimero : Illustration & Design. I also like what the design is saying.
To be honest to you audience and yourself. I feel like this has a strong connection with what I want to say
on my posters.
A TRIPTYCH
"A triptych is a work of art (usually a panel painting) which is divided into three sections, or three carved panels which are hinged together and can be folded shut or displayed open. It is therefore a type of polyptych, the term for all multi-panel works. The middle panel is typically the largest and it is flanked by two smaller related works, although there are triptychs of equal-sized panels..." -Wiki/Triptych
When finished our posters will in fact form to become a triptych.
I straight away thought of Francis Bacon's work (1973) and this particular Triptych. I looked into what the painting is about. The male figure in the poster is thought to be his lover John Edwards. In the first panel the figure is struggling on the toilet, bent over in pain. The central panel shows the figure in a more comfortable pose, almost as if he is resting his head on his hand on the toilet, passed off from the amount of alcohol he has consumed? The darkness spilling from the bathroom is only quite scary and dark. It has the feeling of depression and evil. In the third panel it shows the figures throwing up in the sink.
"My painting is a representation of life, my own life above all, which has been very difficult. So perhaps my painting is very violent, but this is natural to me..." Francis Bacon
Again I chose this because its a very honest painting by Francis. He admits to a difficult life an its a very revealing painting to who he is a a person. The paintings are a sort of story too. Like my posters. One by its self doesn't make too much sense but the three together give a much more vivid and greater understanding.
These posters where designed by Grupo Habermas. Whats really hard for me is his whole website is in spanish so I can't read it or find out who he is. I found is work on lovely stationery which is '...curating the very best of stationery design...'.
I liked these because of the formation of the type. Considering that my posters follow a very similar format I feel obliged to go along with something very similar to this!
