'Assorted Briefs' is a compilation of different competition, live and smaller one-off briefs that aren't big enough to be considered significant by their own merit. I've done a number of these as the year has progressed - and i've decided to compile them into one larger brief, as the volume of them is quantifiable enough to make them significant as a whole.
One of the first live briefs that I took on - Matt sent us an email telling us about an opportunity to create the posters/flyers for Hyde Park Picture House's debut showing of 'Made you Look' - a documentary directed by Anthony Peters, about the rising hybrid between digital and analogous means of working as a creative, and what that meant for the future.
I like doing posters - having done a lot of them previously in both Level 4 & 5. You also got a free ticket if they liked your posters! which is always nice - even if you're not being paid.
I kept the colour scheme of the promotional illustration work for the actual film and tried to keep in the analogous motif of the pencils and tools given that I made this poster digitally. I was largely trying to hone my hand-drawn typography skills - and I think although this isn't the most successful poster i've done (my work has moved on a lot now and I don't really work in this 'digital line/cartoony' manner as much) I do think that this was one of the first times my hand-drawn type started to look a lot neater and professional.
Me and Adam Allsuch Boardman's posters got picked for the events and we got free tickets (and guestlist!) entry for it which was nice! The owners are really lovely, and it would be great to get to know them more at a future date after doing this.
The event itself was really informative - I got to ask the guest speakers some questions (including Matt, who was one of them) - and overall it was a really fun experience. I'd love to get the chance to get into doing more of this promotional poster work at some point further down the line.
