The Disobedient Objects exhibition posters are particularly interesting due to the application of the single column grid which is used to tell a story about the object featured in the poster and its use such as using a bike lock to be used to cause distribution within a protest. This series of posters explores the use of ordinary objects to causes rebellion and protest therefore liking it to the exhibition focused on exploring the movement of objects within social change. Throughout the series of posters each object has an identifying colour to distinguish each object/story allowing each poster to attract attention as each is different creating a more interesting and exciting promotional campaign.
Get Closer:
The contrast of scale within this poster creates a reference to the museum as a whole as it symbolises a detailed and in-depth look at the exhibitions throughout the Museum. The muted tones used allows the sole focus to be the contrast in scale whilst still adding some colour to the poster to allow the important information to be identified which is trying to convince people to become members of the V&A. Although the concept behind this poster is interesting it's not as eye-catching or intriguing as some of the other posters V&A which I've looked at.
Tellling Tales:
An exhibition based on celebrating artists who focus on exploring the narrative of an object and connecting past and the present. The sculpture featured on the poster is by Kelly McCallum who combined her interest in taxidermy and skills in goldsmithing to create sculpture by uniting victorian taxidermy with cold cast objects such as insects as featured within the poster. The use of McCallums sculpture 'Do You Hear What I Hear' for the cover of the poster reference the exhibition on contemporary design and how it can be interpreted in many ways including the 'fears and fantasies' many designs have.
