Retaining the handmade!


After the crit I went away and redid my poster, and I am really happy because I feel that it is a lot better than before! I took on other peoples comments and added more depth to the black background - painting layers of blue, red and black paint and then flicking white on the top to create a 'starry' effect. I then also reduced the scale of the sunbeam, 'pale blue dot' and the text. I feel like now the composition now more effectively communicates this sense of vastness and the insignificance of earth. I think placing the text by the earth instead in the corner of the poster works a lot better - drawing the viewer into this point. With the added texture as well, hopefully when printed the poster will still retain this sense of handmade and not look so digital as before.
