Touch up.

As said in the previous post, i decided to work more on the photos i had taken of the scissors. So what i did was touch them up. These were the few finals i had from the many i had worked on.  The long image in the center i believe i has alot of potential. Even though it is too dark to see ( again the printer) i feel that a bit more work with this, it could come across to be my final.

Designing the poster

On these sheet area 6 mini ideas of how the poster may be displayed. This was needed for assesments to show that we had a few final ideas . I think that even though there are many ideas here, i feel that working with one of the photos may be best.

Strap Lines

On this sheet all i had done here was list down a few straplines in order to put into my poster. On the right side were a few attempts of trying to see if a certain way written would make a difference. However i can now that it is not necessary, and with a normal font would do.

Photos of scissors

These are a few photos i had taken. Unfortunately they had printed out rather dark even though the original ones weren't at all. What i had done here was take photos of a very big scissors i had borrowed from the fashion section. The aim of this was try to get interesting angles and show the scissors in process of cutting.
I knew from these photos that i had a good idea going. All i needed to do here is work on this photo and experiment a few things.

Beginning to design

So i have finally started to think about how the composition of the poster should look like. On this page i was looking at how the scissors can be positioned in the actual poster. I very much like the idea to the left more than the other two. I think by rotating the scissors facing downward gives it a good effect to the poster as a whole. I agree to the whole idea of the dashed lines pilling at the bottom and then continues across the border of the page. I know for sure in my final poster the handle of the scissors will remain black that is why i painted the handles black. If it were in colour, it may be a distraction :D

More Different Ideas.

The main idea of this sheet is to have the scissors cut out the actual word scissors that is displayed in dashed lines.
I think the top left corner image has a lot of potential.   I very much like the composition because it has an appealing look to it. It is also very poster like looking.

On this sheet here, i was focusing how i could add the phrase " Celebration of everyday objects". I looked at the fonts MV Boli and Saege Script.  I think that with the two images may be too crammed together.

Experimenting with dashed lines.

I decided to then look at how i could start using the dashed lines in different ways. As seen in the image to the right, you can see that i spelt out the word scissors on an actual material. I wanted to see whether writing on this material would be more exciting rather than paper.











As you can see here, i was still trying to experiment with the dashed lines and see how i could combine it with the image of a scissors. I tried a few things such as taking away the top part of the scissors and replaced it with dashed lines.

It was however important that the dashed lines scissors word would not take over the attention of the actual scissors.
