V/H/S Screen Print 2


I started making the layers by blowing up my thumbnail into A3 by printing it on to 2 A4 sheets sideways. Using this as a base I made two different layers for the screen print, the main line art layer and the red bloody detail layer.





Using these layers combined into a print creates a very crazy looking and unsettling character. The contrast of the black VHS tapes against the red of the split head, as well as the red detailing surrounding the head and shoulders. I'm not super happy about the text, more consideration could have gone into how the text and the red behind it could interlace into each other.

I have provided some close up shots so you can see some detail and quality of the print.

Below I have done a rough sketch for the typography Following on from this I sketched out some clowns, just quickly jotting down their form and pose with particular attention to the shape and position of the head. The most recognisable thing about clowns in my opinion are their wacky make up so conveying that in my poster is going to be very useful. I am also going to do some rough sketches for shapes that will fit along and decorate the page with pattern.

Final and alternate poster designs for Door to Hell

Using a black and orange colour palette is a creative strategy devised of using the two most opposite colours and contrasting them gives the effect of standing out the most to the readers viewpoint and attention. Which is more likely to get more people to notice something that is black and orange e.g. Traffic signs. I am quite pleased on how the font came out, if anything I think I enjoy the 'door to' letters more than 'hell' as they are more subtle and less overpowering than hell, also the little accents I placed upon each letter I think adorn the type nicely.  This alternative version was inspired by shadows dancing around a fire as it flickers, I researched a few videos of fire and noticed how light manipulates shadows when it comes from a single point. This alternative version just makes use of a the extra space and double layering of font colour, the red here is too bright for the picture really and should be a bit dull, more crimson like.  ...
