Initial Poster Designs and Feedback

These were my quick poster design that I created today for the "Cell phone symphony" concert. I felt that some designs worked better than others (the second design was my favourite, where I combined singular colours and used acetate to create layers) however, I feel that each poster had an interesting element that could be developed.

I felt that because of the time restriction, my designs weren't as strong as they could have been, however I now have the time to develop the parts that worked best; the use of overlaying, colour schemes (using singular colours), playing around with scale, combining numbers and photographs.

From the silent critique, I received ideas on ways I could switch up my designs as well as questions that suggest ideas for more things to experiment with when developing my designs and questions about my design decisions;

• Why not work with more distinct type/image hierarchy- e.g. use large, bold typography and less imagery?
• Why the colour schemes?
• Create abstract collage/drawing/metaphorical response
• Don't use mobile phone imagery 
• Try either with transparency or different colours OR size
• Try not to hide the title too much
• Why didn't I think of doing this?! (about the second design)
• Why only certain colours?
• Try one colour for whole piece
• Play with title more
• Why the type?
• Why the chosen numbers?
• Why not overlay letters/text that have been hand rendered?
• Try a completely different approach
• Try not to just use the phone photos
• Make the text more involved in the poster
• Try black and white
