Colour Choices

Analogous is a group of three colours that are next to each other on the colour wheel. The colours that i used was pink orange and yellow. I used one dominant colour which was the pink ; this all made it analogous.

 Complementary are two colours which join together and combine to cancel and 'complement' each other. The two colours that I have used are green and pink. Doing this it has created a really high contrast for the two colours.

 Triadic colours use three colours which are equally spread around the colour wheel. I used the three colours which are red, yellow and blue. By using triadic structure it offers visual contrast and retains balance and colour vibrancy.

Monochromatic

Digital Type

Many of these type faces look good on the poster. Some text fonts just do not fit the style or theme of the band whom the gig poster is for.  Some of the fonts stand out too much and take the effect away from the overall images that have been created. Some do not fit in with the theme of the rest of the poster. The first image shows a digital type which stands out a lot. The type is too thick and takes the emphasis away from the overall image of the poster. The second image is very simple but effective. The texts fits in with the poster and overall the band. The font also uses the space well not invading on the image or over the sides. Image three just does not work at all. The text does not use the space well, the font is hard to read and does not go with the style of the band, their theme or with the poster. It just overall does not work on the poster. Image four has a nice text which is effective. It does not fit in with the theme due to the text being 'child like 3D' which is a complete contrast to the band. Also the text underneath is hard to read and from a distance would be very hard to read. Image five is very effective. It is chunky and the style oozes in with the style of the poster. It is very good due to it using both colours (black type face and also background) within the design of the image. The text is bold, easy to read also could be read from a distance. It is also very different from all the other fonts, which is like the artist. The artist is different to many others. The font is unique. Image six is simple and very easy to read. It is spaced out and uses the space very well. It is ordered and looks like your basic gig poster font which would appeal to many of peoples tastes. Image seven (the last image) is unusual text which fits in with the background. The text is fun due to it not being on your basic baseline. The only problem with it is that it doesn't use the space very well and looks out of place.
Overall, the text I am going to use is image number two. This is due to it fitting in with all aspects of the theme, band and also the overall poster.

Type Choices

Emulation

This is my emulation of the pulps gig poster which I copied before. It allowed me to use different skills and mess around with them to create the image that I wanted. It also allowed me to pick up key skills which I will be able to use throughout my work and especially in my final piece.

Emulation Process

My emulation was created on Adobe Illustrator. It was done by creating shapes with the pen tool, filling with colour. I then created the back ground using a brush on the pen tool. adding a background and continuing on by deciding on a text.

Copy Of Pulp's Gig Poster

This is my copy of one of the pulp's gig posters. I made it using various processes on Adobe Illustrator. By doing this it allowed me to see and use a different process and style which I havent used before. The work is also similar to that of the 'Arctic Monkeys' whos band I am basing my work on. It also allowed me to have a play around with Adobe Illustrator which is a software which I have not used before. This piece of work took a lot of time but the end effect joins in with the style of the artist. The image looks rigid and arty but at the same time professional which is hard to achieve but can describe some bands/artists perfectly. Trying out with different styles like this expands my knowledge and allows me more ways to achieve the final piece that is intended.
