I decided to make posters for the movies &#8220;Blade Runner&#8221; and &#8220;The Shining&#8221;. This was the first time I designed something where the letters\/words were taking the center stage of the image. When working with text I&#8217;m surprised to see how very subtle changes can make a difference. On both posters I realized that attributes such as character spacing could make or break the image. It was also important for the look that the words are symmetric with one another. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What was Easy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>As mentioned one of the aspects I placed prevalence on was the spacing between letters. I used illustrator to create these and the Type tools respond well. Setting up the spacing and aligning the separate text boxes was pretty seamless. I also realized that changing the color\/outline of some characters really helped the words as a whole pop on the screen.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>What was Challenging?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I had some issues with my &#8220;Blade Runner&#8221; poster. I felt like it was too empty\/bland. I tried to add numerous things to it but I ultimately found they all made it look worse. I found that there is a very fine line when working with text. It can borderline to much or too little and the challenge is in finding that middle ground.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>How could you submission be Improved?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>As said I had some issues with my Blade Runner poster. My issue is with the bottom half, most of the text is centered near the top. Perhaps I should have added additional text to the bottom such as the directors name. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>How can the professor improve the assignment in the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I thought this assignment was laid out well. My only point would be that the project description does not specify that two posters should be made. Other than that, it made a clear point what the project was about and what to start researching to get ideas.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>How might this knowledge be applied in the future?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I use text a lot in projects yet I never do to much to design it other than resize and change colors. I found with this project that text can be used as a very powerful center object. Applying this in the future I would like to give text more center focus. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>How did a specific source help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>I was having trouble balancing everything in my poster for the shining. I found a video that introduced an interesting technique by changing the opacity of a background image. After applying this I ended up with the style I was looking for.<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What did you learn?
