Design Hero Poster Process
I’ve been (mostly) keeping track of my process for this project in my sketchbook, since that’s what feels most natural to me.
I didn’t write down all of my notes from that class in my sketchbook, but I took the rest of my notes in my InDesign doc. Here they are, though they’re a bit chaotic:
Class Notes March 2 cont.
Don’t be too afraid of making mistakes, making “a move”
THIS IS NOT EASY… its ok do not freak out…
i feel like I’m not taking enough risks…brett agrees
just follow ur instincts
right one! SHAKE IT UP! less linear and horizontal! Mess it up
go off the page, make it feel like it never toughed a computer off balance, imperfection, authentic
“Half an hour worth of work”
Have no respect for the frame of your page at all!!! Go crazy so stupid
feel like im in a really good place aesthetically, just layout needs to be more organic — loves the texture
try cutting name out? Stamping name,
Look at Pinterest collected inspo for this last step
Cut out little similar sizes and experiment in sketchbook with hand-done layout
keep handwritten type
Its not a POSTER yet
Look at Dorothy’s?
more cutouts of her face? Or littler portraits added on & around
Outline only for text stamp?
Then, I started work on my final. This included more building by hand, including the carving of this rubber stamp while I FaceTimed my mom for a couple of hours. (note the “e” which I somehow carved backwards).
I scanned my pieces and put them together in InDesign, and ended up with this final product!
