Inspirational | Posters

After looking at constructivist artwork a lot, i've come to the conclusion that I'm not going to use it after all. I've become a lot more interested in British and American Propaganda after re-reading my first post and so I've reverted back to that as my focus, although I still want to take some of the ideas from constructivism and use them in my design. 

Here are examples of typography I've taken from both British and American propaganda posters. I really like the use of a hand written font and a san-serif font in the same poster as I feel it is a strong part of the visual language seen on the posters. I feel it is one of the most important visual characteristics to mimic in my poster. 






When looking into the colour scheme for my work I decided I'd use the colour palette from the original. Colour is a huge part of the visual language, arguably the most important visual language a designer must conquer in a design. I figured I'd use the original colour scheme as well as an extra colour to support the social media I want to promote which is in this case pastel blue for Vimeo. Below is a pixelated version of the poster so you can quickly see the colours I am going to use.
