These are my final posters for the hookworms brief.
When doing the sketches and the initial ideas for this project i really wanted to steer away from doing worms. I think it's easy to get carried away and take something as easy as a name and make a poster from it as from research i realised a lot of band posters have nothing to do with what the band is called. I did many sketches of worms and birds but none of them felt good enough to become a final outcome. I started to just think of something that would go with the aesthetic of the band therefore, i created this image of a burning limo which not only visualises a worm in a form of a limo but setting it on fire makes the image more fun and goes with the vibe of the band.
I also created another 2 more from finding some images in an animal book that i thought would make for interesting collages. These ones didn't take me as long as the first 2 as it was mainly just playing about with found images. I think the humour behind these is good and i prefer them. However, I think i would like to develop my graphic design skills in order to make posters like this look a lot more professional. I would also like to collage more with these images and develop having fun with them for further projects.
Animal Farm
When it came to my animal farm project i had similar difficulties as hookworms as i didn't want to include a pig in my final book cover as it would seem pretty obvious and i think it's about time animals farm had a cover without a piggy on.
I was very conflicted in any ideas that explained the book without making it look like a Russian farm.
Towards the end of the deadline i took the idea of just the farm and developed it into a paper cut image.
this late became the final cover for my book as it was most subtle as an idea
