SPACE POSTER TRIAL (A1)

LFF - CULT

For the identity and concept behind the London Film festival I have been looking into the classification of the actual festival it's self. Even though on a mass scale, I like the idea of it being a cult following, therefore connecting it to religion with the idea of congregation, and worship. A gathering to almost pay respects to the film itself. Looking at historical Florentine paintings, compositions and viewpoints can be used to help strengthen the image (poster or design) as Jesus/Mary is always the centre piece, with perspective and inner shapes being used to attract the viewer towards the centre of the image. The use of modern methods to publicize religion today resorting to neon lights to me has a strange, commercial but also theatrical approach. Within this design I hope to combine the methods and compositional structure of florentine paintings and use of neon commercialism.   

DARK IN DARK TRIALS

Simple idea of merely trying to achieve spacial awareness 

by only the slightest touches, using the darkest shades all 

over 97% black and simple perspective. Different possibilities 

of shapes but also lighting to create further depth.

CHARCOAL - DARK

On the concept of the D.I.Y project, looking into light and dark and spatial awareness I decided to just purely cover an A2 piece of granulated paper in pure charcoal. I do feel it's important through out any project or process of work to simply get what ever is in your mind out on paper and out of your system. No matter how daft or pointless the task at hand seems. The process of drawing this image lead me to the idea of depth within darkness. To close your eyes puts you automatically into a granulated texture of darkness with specks of light, these fractions of light playing with your mind and thought.

The image below has an inlay of a box using simple perspective and different levels of darkness to try to achieve depth, hopefully through almost the same shade to create the illusion of just a plain sheet of black paper. However as a first trial the lines between shades are too prominent.
