Here is my poster down on Granville Island surrounded by pigeons! Too bad I got in trouble for posting bills on those poles, otherwise I would have left it there! So as far as the critique went I was really shocked that people had such positive reactions to it. I felt that I had simplified my idea until there was nothing left that could possibly be removed, but while I felt the concept was really clear as a result, I thought it might be too visually disinteresting. Apparently this wasn’t the case. My bf mentioned it might have looked better if the stick man had been more like the stick people on traffic signs, with thicker limbs. I think that I agree, so if I make more of these I think I might explore that option. I was really impressed with the stuff that our class was able to create so early on in our exploration of illustrator. I was particularly drawn to Eunice’s and Erica’s posters, both had really good use of color and composition, and I thought that they tackled their topics in a really clever way. That being said, I think that there was no clear ‘winner’ since every poster was so interesting and unique. It was great to see people getting to into their causes, I think we all got to see a little more of each other and what is important to us. Way to go guys!!
Stanley Park now has an official no kicking policy.
Aw, thanks for that shout out. Does wonders for my ego. Hahaha, jk.
Don’t be too hard on yourself, I think you did a great job with your poster. Sure it’s simple but it has a really playful aesthetic that works the audience you’re aiming for. I would have to agree with your bf though, making the stick figure more like the ones on traffic signs would kick it up a notch.
But yes yes, awesome job. Now it’s time for indesign~ P:
