POSTERCHILD

this is my poster child of peter behrens and william morris. this assignment was a little difficult just because of the huge difference between the two artists. i think it represents both styles because william morris is very decorative and detailed, whereas peter behrens is crisp and clean and simple. i decided to leave it very simple except for the two corner framing designs (inspired by william morris) and the font simple and legible (inspired by peter behrens). and the negative space is my contribution to this design. i also didn't put a geometrical border in just for the reason that this piece was inspired by morris and behrens, but very loosely. please let me know what you think :)

  1. this is great! looks like we had a similar idea in dots radiating from the lightbult ;) Even so, I love the simplicity of it.

  2. I love this, the way the leaves are reaching for the lightbulb. It's so simple but very effective, nice work!

  3. I like the use of gradient to represent the light emanating from the bulb. Also the black bulb strikes me as a visual representation of a shoe print. Subliminally suggesting the consumers "carbon footprint" nice job!
