Poster Project

OK, so my “poster” ended up being a road sign – or at least in a road sign format – which I thought was kind of fun.  As you can tell from my previous project, I’ve had these kinds of communicative signposts on the brain lately.  The format apeals to my interest in art which encompasses an element of humor or playfullness, which may not be immediately obvious at first glance, but reveals itself after a moment.  For me, humor, or cleverness, is a such a powerfull tool to employ when communicating a message.  Using a minimal, focused amount of information or content to quickly and clearly grab someones attention  and relay a message (and hopefully generate a smile) – that’s how I wanted to approach this project.

I would like to “plant” my poster in a variety of places.  My  photo documentation of the poster includes a doctored version using photoshop, as well as a real life placement.  I would deffinately like to reproduce the poster on a stiff backing of some kind, which would allow me to quickly and easily slap it up practically anywhere – signposts, buildings, etc.  First thing’s first though, I have an InDesign project to do.
