Monkey Business

This is a poster that I did in June this year. We were taught how to use Photoshop to design a poster in my CCA (AV Club)'s June camp. The poster was supposed to be an advertisement for Bukit Timah Nature Reserve (because we went there for a photo field trip). I thought it was really coincidental because at that time I just decided to make posters for my coursework. It was really good practice for me as I was taught the basics of Photoshop.

Note: I didn't take the photograph, I found it on the Internet.

my prep boards

These are photos of my prep boards:

(1) my artist's statement, first mindmap, brainstorming etc

(2) my research on different children's activities. includes some sketches and photographs.

(3) continuation of my research + my inspiration

(4) my concept development. This board is very wordy because I changed my coursework idea a few times and I'm not very consize.

(5) this is a collage of a selection of the photos that I took. I wanted to explain each one (or at least some that have varied themes, subjects) of them initially but I realised they would not fit nicely into 1 board unless I overlap them!

(6) this is elaborating on the themes of my final pieces.

(7) continuing of the elaboration...

(8) some ideas I had for my slogan + my final works.

my final final work!

These are the pictures of my final work, after I cut out the silhouettes. I took the posters at an angle to minimize the reflection of light on them. I pasted the posters on a transparent sheet of plastic, this is to allow me to stick back some parts (for some of the posters) that are not attached to the main piece.

^ This was the most time consuming one, because the bicycle spokes left a lot of little holes and I had to stick each one of them back manually. The glue didn't stick very well, hopefully they are still intact :/
