Layout Experimentations

In order to develop the use of my drawings further I've experimented with the layout of the poster using a range of typography experimentations in order to form a better understand of which is most appropriate. Consequently realising the poster needs to be on a larger scale than A3 (see figure 1) as the drawings seem to compact/close to the edge and would be more effective with more negative space surrounding them, leading to the development of the poster to A2 (see figure 2). In addition experimentations that feature larger black typography are least successful as the typography distracts from the drawing which is the main focus of the posters (see figures 1 and 4). This leads to the use of grey within some experimentations as the typography becomes more subtle and discrete, which is most successful when placed in the bottom half of the poster particularly the bottom middle and bottom left (see figures 2 and 3). I plan to gain feedback on which layout is most successful as well as the use of typography in order to finalise the design. Overall I feel the use of more negative space around the drawings works successfully as once cut out the light will have a greater impact as it will be focused to the middle of the page instead of spread over the majority of the page which is the case using A3.
