Self-Promotion Poster Design (part
2.)
Collage:
Value into Shape – Isolated Composition – Simplified Imagery
Objective: Create a
composition based on one section of your previous collage using only cut paper.
Represent value, shape and all design aspects represented therein.
Procedure:
- Using a 4.5 x 6” window (view-finder) cut out of the
center of an 8.5 x 11” sheet of white paper, find the most interesting
composition within your collage.
- Tape this window into place and create a new image
based on the contents inside that window. Keep it in place for final crit.
- The new image will transform the contents inside the
view-finder into a new, flat, larger version of it’s previous design using only cut paper shapes.
- You may use as many colors as you want but stay true
to the color scheme inside the window. Think about your palette! You may edit
colors down.
- Simplification of the image is fine. But don’t over
simplify. Maintain the qualities/details that make the design interesting.
- White paper and black paper should be used in addition
to show tonal range.
- No groundsheet should show through.
- The new image should be blown up to 18x24” and stay the same in proportion as
the chosen composition inside that window.
- Mount to 22x30” Bristol ground sheet.
Materials needed:
- Bristol ground sheet (one extra or similar sheet for
the paste-up/picture plane)
- X-Acto Knife
- Ruler
- Color-line paper or equivalent
- Black paper and white paper
