When I was doing research on how fine
arts could inspire me in relation to this visual concept, I looked to the
futurists. I wanted to use the way they captured speed on a page and bring it
to the modern age with this project. Although I am still very much intrigued by
the futurist and their understanding of movement and speed, I could not think
of a way that would help my current plans for my project.

Thus, I moved to the pointillists. Painters
such as Georges-Pierre Seurat gave me inspiration for
how I could improve this poster design, from an aesthetic standpoint.
His work,
like many of the pointillist artists, involved creating images solely through
the use of singular dots of pigment. These pigments together would join
together to form the image. I felt like I could take the idea of using dots of
pigment and turn it into something similar yet completely abstracted.
Hence, using
pencil and ink, I dotted out patters around the
Art Nouveau-like decorations. I was also careful not to add too much of
these pointillist features to each poster. I did this to keep with the
recurring minimalist theme that appeared to be emerging the further I get in
the development of these posters.
As a personal reflection, I do wish I
could have added some semblance of the futurists to this concept. I was very
much interested in the concept of showing movement through repetition and if I was
to have more time with this piece, I would surely have included that somewhere
along the way.
