3 Posters - session

In the most recent PPP session we were tasked with creating 3 posters just using type in 20 minutes each. One to advertise ourselves personally, one professionally and one as a superhero with a costume, a sidekick, a superpower and Kryptonite.

We based these on qualities we came up with in the session relating to our personal practice and professional practice. For example:

Personal qualities:

• Experimental
• Observant
• Inspiring
• Humourous
• Open-minded
• Reliable
• Organised
• Dedicated
• Passionate
• Ambitious
• Positive
• Self-confident

Professional qualities:

• Innovative
• Perceptive
• Creative
• Presentable
• Punctual
• Flexible
• Available
• Committed
• Hardworking
• Recognisable visual signature
• Confident
• Experienced

So here are my 3 posters:

Personal

I decided that the personal quality most important to me is humour. I didn't think too much about the crafting and composition of this poster.

Professional

Again, humour coming through, but with a basis on my ability to generate ideas, and a bit of self-assured confidence.

Superhero

This one isn't as related to illustration, but I really like to cook my own meals from scratch, so I incorporated humour into the idea of me as a super-chef! I'm not an amazing cook but I do alright for a student.

Our next task is to create another 3 posters which CAN use image, advertising ourselves personally, professionally and instead of a superhero, our ambitions. This task has remindad me of my ambition to make people laugh! Primarily that's what I aim to do with my work, more often than not. I also like to create stories, so making comics seems like a natural progression.
