Creative Networks - Daft Punk/Andrew Graham Dixon - Experiments

Andrew Graham Dixon - 

These experiments of the poster were developed from the idea of using the images from the books and the kaleidoscope maker app. The patterns that are created are quite hard to work with, because they are quite strong on their own and when mixed with others clashy. It is a good clash with them and makes the viewer look at the image in more detail.

The triangular shape was developed from working with a few shapes. The pattern was alternated so that there was clearly different patterns on each level. 

We used the shape from the LCA logo for the poster information as a simple way to connect the speaker to the College.

The hexagon shape was a follow on from the LCA logo. Creating a pattern is more interesting and exciting way to use the shape.

One of these posters needs to be further developed in order to get to the final design.

Daft Punk - 

The poster development was slightly difficult because we wanted to convey an idea of light, colours and textures. The foil idea didn’t work because the pattern drawn up just didn’t suit having text around it. 

After trying the foil idea we moved on to the idea of using the colour from their lights and using a half tone. This idea worked a lot better straight away, so we stuck with it and developed it.

The half tone dual colour is to represent both people in Daft Punk and give them a more colourful look. Rather than using black like other posters or CD covers, we felt colours were more eye catching. We darkened the colours so that the white type was more visible. Using white type gives the poster a brighter appearance and is easier to read.
