Final Tesla Circus Poster


I'm happy with the layout of my final poster as I wanted to play with composition in a way I haven't really considered before, combining text and block shapes of colour with vignettes. I enjoy this way of composing as it is a departure from my usual character driven work. My disturbingly extensive knowledge of comic book covers has also played a part in influencing my thinking for this poster, as they have to be dynamic and eye catching but also must include certain information and encapsulate a message and can't just be a frame from the inside of the comic with the words "Iron Man" or whoever plastered over it. I tried to consider the use of space and distance between objects in the frame to create something that keeps the attention, as my poster is based on old flamboyant circus posters. 
In the future I'd like to experiment with an analogue media on this larger scale, as I aren't used to working on A2 and I feel that I could have made something very different by using paint or ink. However I felt that for this poster a dynamic graphic colour was needed. I definitely intend to explore large formats in different ways over the next few weeks, as I aren't very experienced with large scale work and I want to improve.
