Research for Festival Poster- Negative space

How is the design concept used?

The dark of the Negative space is i think designed to pull out the other colours, which makes the image very eye catching. It's a very simple design but says exactly what it wants to.

Comment on line,shape,texture and colour.

The main use of line is in the typography which has become the main focus of the poster. Which is good because it grabs the attention and brings the eye down to the vacuum cleaner itself.
Again the shape is in the type, this typeface is very cool and ads to the design.
I'm not sure that there's much texture in this although it appears very smooth and clean. Perhaps this was intentional to get people to try and picture the vacuum as being a smooth machine?

Colour plays a big part of this design. It brings out the entire image, also gives the negative space.


What do i like about the image?

I love the typeface it's very funky.

How will it influence my poster?

Try to use colour to bring out my image.



How is the design concept used?

I think the use of negative space here is quite subtle. It's not designed to take any focus or push anything out. The image and text stand well on their own. The negative space just gives a nice amount of breathing space around the image.

Comment on line,shape,texture and colour.

Line in this image is jagged in most places which gives a kind of uniformity to the image.
Shape here is quite dominant, as the picture is entirely made up of different shapes it becomes an important element.
Texture is not so obvious but i think it may have been meant to have a smooth, cool texture. To express the night sky.
In the way of colour this image has a very simple palette which i think works well in the idea of a night time sky. It's more of a calming colour though, instead of using a harsh black which would create tension for the sky.


What do i like about the image?


I like the symmetry of this image


How will it influence my poster?

Perhaps to use different shapes to create my image



How is the design concept used?

This is a very clever use of negative space, in fact it's hard to tell which is supposed to be the focal area as they work so harmoniously together. This image draws the attention right away. I first noticed the hand in this, before noticing the legs.

Comment on line,shape,texture and colour.

There really isn't much line to this as shape is much more prominent to create the image. It's been constructed in a very interesting way so the shapes look like a hand and legs.
I don't see any texture in this.
The colour is very contrasting which makes the images stand out really well.


What do i like about the image?


I love how you have to do a double take of this image to understand it.


How will it influence my poster?


I'm not to sure if i can be that clever but i'll try!


How is the design concept used?

This is again using the negative space very cleverly, but this one only have one image created in the space.
It looks like the red paint has been embossed slightly to bring out the red and make it look like blood, it's very effective.

Comment on line,shape,texture and colour.

I think line and shape are mixed in together here. The edge of the red has a very definite line, it also has a definite shape. with the use of line marking out where the shape should be.

There seems to be a slight gradient over the embossing which helps gives the illusion of blood.
Colour is very important in this image. With the red being blood, but also the black makes everything seem very dark and evil.

What do i like about the image?

I love how the blood actually does look like blood. It takes a moment to recognise the image.

How will it influence my poster?

I may use a shape to create another underlying shape. it's an interesting idea.
