Our final day of graphics had us creating a promotional poster for our own exhibition which would be held in 2033. This could be an exhibition about the kind of work I'd be known for. I decided on doing it about various thing instead of just one.
Prior the day, I came up with a few ideas of poster styles and through different techniques I experimented with what could be best.
One of them is of a few minimalist glasses repeated over the square. It is an exhibition for me as a fashion designer. Glasses are really fashionable right now and the frames can define what kind of person you are, therefore it seemed fit for a fashion exhibition.
I experimented with colour through water colour. Little droplets of wet paint was spilled on the paper and I blew on it so it could move around create an interesting and messy effect. I envisioned this to be for an artists exhibition because of the experimental, abstract work.
While experimenting with different techniques I decided to make a tattoo design. This really captured me and kept me working on it for longer than I'd expected; the whole idea of a tattoo exhibition really seemed exciting.
Typography is always important graphics, so I used a page to test out different fonts in different shapes, sizes and angles all over a page. This way I could get a clear view of which I preferred and what would suit my poster style best.

My final poster was of my tattoo exhibition in 2033 at the V&A. I really liked the idea of a tattoo artist having an exhibition in a place like the V&A, it is something that doesn't happen but the hope of times and morals changing by the time is 2033 gave me hope that it could be possible. It also seems very unlikely to happen because tattoo's are usually something that's frowned upon, and to hold an exhibition at the Victoria and Albert museum for such an event seems almost comical and rebellious, which I enjoyed the thought of.
I also really fancy the idea of being a tattoo artist famous enough to be able to hold an exhibition in such a high standard place.
