Today's class started with a group lecture. Matt discussed with us how we can show the same idea through many different styles. He used the Animal Farm book covers as an example as the book has been remade with many different styles of covers yet each one still conveys the same message to the viewer. This is something we need to think about when designing our posters.
We were also shown a video 'Team Ball Player Thing' to show us that we can have fun with our projects and really start thinking out of the box. I do think that the time constraints will effect what we are able to create.
We then went back to class and pinned our mood boards up onto the wall. We then all had one on ones with the lecturers. It was really helpful to talk to Matt he helped us to start thinking outside of the box and that we didn't need to be so literal and have an actual surfer on every poster. What symbolises a surfer? How can you represent them without having them literally on the page? Can we use a graphic surfer style?
We had become very confined with our surfer target audience but after talking to Matt we think its a good idea to try one poster design that is for a more general audience and one poster that is aimed towards the surfer community.
I felt like our conversation had sparked a lot of really good ideas and I'm excited to try them out.
