Things have been entirely too quiet on my site for a while now. Between finishing up my placement and responsibilities to others I haven’t had much time to actually sit down and write any new content for my site. Today I’m finally able to do something about that, and I’m going to start by writing the final installation regarding the posters I have been designing for Write on Time’s end of year Musical Event.

My last post on this topic finished off with me saying that I didn’t feel that the Animals in Dangerous Situations poster really matched up to the image the band wanted and the members of the band. This resulted in a complete redesign of the poster to bring it more in line with the image they wanted to portray and also to blend it in better with the rest of the printed media that I had produced for this particular project.

Revolution also required very little change, and most of it was done to ensure that the actual content was more noticeably visible against the background of the poster rather than blending in too much, which I believed was the case.

In contrast to this the Cat Attack poster required virtually no modifications to the design. The group poster was modified slightly to differentiate it from the Cat Attack poster. Previously both had been using the same background and I felt that should change. I also reorganised the order that the band logos were portrayed, as it was apparently misleading people into thinking Revolution was the main selling point of the event.

The hardest part of this set of final tweaking was getting the flyers to people to get the OK for them to be printed. This involved a rather hefty amount of uploading of files. Media designed for print really doesn’t transfer quickly, and I had to make minor alterations to the pieces and re-upload them before they were given the OK.

The final pieces can be viewed below.
