Part of our task is to produce a music poster, synergising with both our video we are to produce and the digital booklet for the CD. On Wednesday, we made a list of various ideas upon what could be put on both our poster and booklet, and we conducted these ideas:
- Pink guitar (as this would be recognised on the video)
- High heels (being the main motif)
- Girl in different eras? From colour to black and white, in relation to original ideas
- Girl divided into two to relate to this - two faces? Divided into two?
- Lipstick
- Jewellery
- Hairbrush
- Mirror
- Close up of face
- The table/mirror being used
- Bags/keys
- Coats - leopard coat/blue coat
- Disco things
- Black and white contrasting with colour
- Lips up close
- Dancing
From these ideas, as a group we conducted up various ideas, concluding with this pilot, rough summary for a poster:
It follows the idea of using the girls face, although her face has been divided into the two different eras as to be shown in the video - of present and the 1920's. The artist's name, Kirsty MacColl, is written across the top left, in fancy, formal italics. This parallels an old-fashioned font, hinting at the elder era. However, the title of 'IN THESE SHOES' is bold and striking, falling alongside the present era. We used typical stereotypes that are found alongside other posters, such as the 'OUT NOW' bold font found underneath.
Her face is clearly divided into two, with the left being brightly coloured with brown straight hair and pink lips. Her eye make-up is applied normally. The right side of her face is in black and white, therefore complimenting the previous era. We have therefore designed this part in black and white, in grey pencil, and outlined her eyes in a typical 'flapper' style. Also, we have decided to curl her hair and will use a hair accessories in the actual piece.
On top of this, although it is quite faint, we have planned to use large polka dots for the background as this is quite fashionable during this present time, whilst it is retro for the past era.
