To finish off my visual project, I decided
to give the posters a bit of a colour change. I scrapped the ‘secondary’
colours in the shapes that frame the ellipse and opted to give them a solid
black coat of ink. My reasoning here was that I wanted these posters to follow
a certain style that makes them instantly relatable to each other and the
secondary colours seemed to be acting contrary to that.
In relation
to my chosen theme of movement, I feel like that theme is well accounted for in
this piece through the use of Art Nouveau inspired linearity. The soft curved
lines in the ellipses give off a sense of movement that was very prevalent in
Art Nouveau design. In contrast, the curved lines that frame the ellipses give
of a more dynamic sense of movement, due to the sharpness of the edges.
As a brief self-evaluation, I’d like
to point out that I feel like I could have taken this concept so much further
were I to use some form of digital media. I feel like it would have been a
cleaner and more polished piece, and it would have also allowed for more experimentation
with colour and different gradients. I could have also included some of the
floral patterning so popular in the Art Nouveau style.
