updated australia prototype

i may take out the white outlines in the building and will definitely eliminate the black lines in the background sky between the colors.

final project: prototypes (2nd round) part 2

sorry, my scanner at home wasn't working, so i just did simple layouts on photoshop. i will trace them later, and do slightly different color...more solid chunks of color, rather than this naturalistic look that the pictures show.

basic layout for 2nd poster.

mountain landscape will be continuous with the bridge in the background of australia poster.

i like the faded background behind new zealand text thats different from the water in the background

obviously, i'm not going to reproduce in perfect likeness the picture in the background, but since my scanner's not working, i plan to trace this prototype and change the color later to decide which colors i will use.

on purvis's "visit india" poster, he used a silhouette in front of his background, and i think a silhouette of maybe a person with a big hat of some sort in front of the mountains would be cool. possibly in front of the mountains, but behind the text...

final project: prototypes (2nd round)

colors are a little off

i like the changing colors with the actual architecture...like the size i think.

probably will do a different background color. bridge would look better a little more bold and maybe in a black. although the blue is growing on me.

as far a the text goes, i couldn't find an appropriate font on my computer at home, so i'll look for a better one on the schools computers. also, i want to make the font blend into the background a little better...possibly send it behind the bridge or something.

background information:

developed a bold, 2D style using large blocks of vivid flat color and eliminating detail

works for LNER largely avoided depictions of the trains themselves but rather concentrated on portraying the resorts that were the holiday destinations of the travellers and the leisure pursuits that could be enjoyed there (create personal project using this approach)

sex appeal was strong element = women in bathing costumes with bare arms and legs (risque in 1930s Britain)

seaside resorts, each shown at an unusual angle, to form a continuous landscape in the background within the 6 posters produced for LNER
(with my project, make backgrounds link together....like landscape from train window...maybe Australia and New Zealand since they are next to each other...or Egypt and surrounding country)

East Coast Joys depicts various leisure activities with a relaxed simplified style giving almost a Mediterranean feel (emphasizing that the east coast of Britain is the "drier side of Britain")
