Poster Inspiration

In order to create successful and experimental posters designs for the "Cell Phone Symphony" concert, it is important that I familiarise myself with other designers' ways of working with image and type. These are some Instagram accounts that have inspired me and the top 3 posts/posters that I loved from each page.

I have made list of things that I like from each poster and things that I will experiment with within my designs. I've also thought about how the designs could be altered.

1.
-How the yellow bold typography dominates most of the page
-The contrast between the bold, swirly, crazy typography and the neat, neutral, purple type
-The colour scheme (bold colours for type with pastel shades in the background)
-The combination of photography and playful type, the type has a sort of hand drawn aesthetic that I enjoy.

2.
-The combination of photography and flat 2D shape
-The colour scheme; Classic B&W with a bold pop of colour (the pink)
-The placement of the type; incorporating it within the photograph (the mans legs)
-The black swirl shape; bold and effective

3.
-The photograph on its own is extremely strong; great poster even without the type
-The colour palette of the photograph; pastel pinks, soft
-The photograph colours contrast well with the purple type
-The placement of the type around the corners
-Maybe a different typeface? something more bold (its neither light or bold?)

1.
-I love this colour scheme!
-Shot extremely well
-Great angles and composition
-Interesting visual concept
-The type could be more visible and/or bigger?

2.
-This is my favourite piece from this Instagram page; Im in love with the way the purple 'S' dominates and gives the neural newspaper a complete new style
-Bold and jazzy
-Communicates/advertises the Samsung phone in an extremely fun way to make it more appealing
-The big 'S' creates strong contrast with the smaller regular newspaper text

3.
-Instantly eye catching because of the use of bright pop-y colours
-The pop art/cartoony aesthetic works really well
-The overall aesthetic gives the festival a fun, energetic vibe
-Like the idea of fitting the type/letters around the illustration in the middle





1.
-The colours work well against the black background
-It would be interesting to see how more text would work; using the same handwritten type aesthetic
-Like the idea of the illustration dominating most of the page and how it doesn't look like an apple at first glimpse, not obvious!

2.
-These were Raygun magazines from September 1997
-I love the vintage/old aesthetic of these designs, like that its not crisp and clean like most of the work on this page
-The different typefaces contrast really well
-Interesting the that some of the letters have been flipped

3.
-Typography for Warby Parker Holiday Campaign 2017
-Eye catching at first glimpse
-Bright and bold!
-The choice of language 'Wow' works well with the general bold aesthetic
-Good use of complimentary colours
-Would work well a younger audience as well
