I have made a A2 version of my final poster, and then scanned it and started editing it on photoshop. I think that it translates everything as well as how I felt about it when roughing in my sketchbook - with the composition communicating this sense of vastness, and the intensity of the colours creating this dynamism and drama.
So far I have just playing around with text and the idea of including a quote within the poster - I think this would be relevant since the illustration directly refers to Carl Sagan speech 'The Pale blue dot'. I feel that it also helps provide this idea of him being an educator and communicator. Text is something, however, that I always struggle with and whatever I do it always seems to be a bit out of place. With the crit coming up I think I will try to get some feedback on this...
Another thing I have been struggling with is that when I scan the poster in and edit it in photoshop I have found that I lose the handmade/painterly quality I really enjoyed within my roughs and on the original. Maybe I just need to play around with the levels a bit more or add more texture on the original?
