Fan art poster

For my fan art poster i chose Grand Designs as there is nothing more enjoyable than an hour long show of families struggling as they watch there dream project become a nightmare when there budget get's blow out of proportion and there glass gets stuck in Germany for 3 months.

I also saw it as a great opportunity to use shapes with composition. 

Here are a few of the drafts for the poster i wanted to enccorpart compostion with patterns and architectural drawings there are elements of each that i took for the final one. I found this very challenging to plan out what to put where to get a nice screen print. I also wanted to involve features like the path to add depth to the image.

I found that it would be easier to draw all the elements separately then put them together digitally for printing. This isn't a way i would usually work but for this poster i thought it might be the most effective. My idea for this was to pull out elements of the show that bring importance such as the usual uncompleted path and patio or the glass never making it in time.
it took me a few different compositons to get to the final one as I was worried of over complicating or making it too cluttered.

These are my final screen prints i originally started with the blue and yellow combanation but felt like the yellow overlayed on the blue wasn't very strong and didn't do much for the depth and composition of the image. Although i think the blue really made lovely textures on paths.
I then switched the colours so the blue was at the front and the base colour was orange and i think this made the image a bit more stronger. Although personally, i felt like the image still needed more as it all looked a bit floaty and empty.

As an experiment me and Oliver printed over each other screen prints and personally i think this created the most interesting screen print of them all. Which made me think that a bit more of a back ground might of made the image a lot more effective, I think in the future i'm gonna print over more of Olivers prints as they compliment each other very nicely.
