Practical | Further Posters



More examples of larger-scale collage posters I've made. Enjoying working in this particular medium, using a mashup of materials. They are much more typographic than I would have expected however I think the words give clues towards to origins of the content, but also could confuse things further, which is fine.

One particular phrase I like is THE AMATEUR CAN AFFORD TO LOSE.
This came from reading Marshall McLuhan's The Medium is the Message.

I think this quote sums up what I'm trying to do, and justifies the intent of my approach, the aesthetic, and the content I am choosing to generate. It is about ignoring standards tied to professionalism, 'good art', and such. 

Working in this way has allowed me to generate some outcomes that I think successfully reflect my research and the intent of my project.

I think that next, my focus should be on distribution of these images and possibly putting them into different contexts and settings.
