Final Poster and other peoples work

I decided to print both of the posters below off and not any of the other, I wasn't really please with my work on this brief, I think I was trying to hard to create a style that wasn't me, which made my work look rather unprofessional and I think it was a bit agressive.

Looking around the room I can see that a lot of people have incorporated there on style on to the brief and have not stuck to the D&AD colours or style. There are a lot of variations form photography to vectors and a range of colours. However the people who have not stuck to the D&AD colour might find that people won't instantly know what they are trying to comunicate where as the people who have poster look very obvious with is a good thing for a poster as you need to catch attention and get to the point straight away. Now I have seen everyone else I am hoping I might have time before thursday to create a poster which resembles me a bit more, im not looking forward to the feed back on my work.

Another Poster

I have just created another poster which I think works well, it is simple but effective... I think I should try some variations of it but this is what I have so far.

After playing around I found it difficult to make any changes and what I did manage to change I didn't think look as affective as there was too much going on.
I changed the background to black and the writing to yellow.

another try

Realised that on the poster before I had made the wrong shape for the d&ad symbol, this should be the correct symbol....

I have changed one of my poster and added the correct symbol.

Maybe an option

I ask around a few of my friends and surprisingly they all liked the poster I wasn't too fond on. However they did say it needed more work and to change the front from futura to Helvetica. I added the correct text and played around with size and the place it should go.

D&AD poster Trial

Not all the information is that is required is not yet on the poster and a lot more work needs to be put in to them as I think they either look too simple or have too much going on.

Book Fair Ideas

After doing some research I can see that I am favoring animal mask and masks that look a bit evil/dark. I think I will explore with some drawings of evil animals and see where they take me.
