Poster Progress and Submission

Assignment 1 Progress

I tried again with the poster, and got off with a better start by using a stronger, more dynamic pose. Here is my process:

Final Poster:

I've added an interactive feature in the form of AR, where if you scan the round icon below with the Zappar App, an augmented picture of the game trailer will be overlaid on the poster.

1. Scanning with Zappar App

2. You'll need to put the camera a bit closer to the icon for it to be detected. 

3. After some loading time, the trailer is overlaid over the poster.

Below is the mockup for the trailer "cover/thumbnail" image.

Poster Progress

Assignment 1 Progress
I expanded on one of the drafts, doing colour trials and working to add more details. Here are my progress pictures.

I then expanded on the draft to add more details.

Upon consultation with my lecturer, he noted the lack of 'movement' in the piece, and said that it looks 'sterile'. I understand his concerns, and I attribute it to the overly balanced layout and structure of the poster, along with the lack of dynamism of the pose. I acknowledge my problems and mistake of settling on an idea too quickly. I also express regret on choosing an illustration-heavy topic, but I understand it's also good for me to push my limits.

My next plan of action is either to rework this current poster, or to scrap whatever I have here and start anew. I feel like the latter option is better as I would not be bogged down by whatever conventions I may have set with the previous poster, and a blank state has it's own creative power. I will try once more.

I will update with more progress next week.
