Guess What!

Aaaand, this is another poster for the Freedom of Speech, that I whipped up last. Not the best ever but I kinda like it.
Haaa, one more exam to go (aesthetics), and I'm done with this semester.

Inspiration: Quote

I'm rather tired of all those "Keep Calm and Carry on" posters and various versions of. It's nice and all but too widely spread.
The reason I put this version up here is to inspire myself to really get to making things. I'm very good at thinking about what beautiful things I would make or do, but most of the time I'm rather reluctant to start making or doing those beautiful things.
Getting really excited about something is a good way to start and I think that excitement is something one can generate in ones self.
So, let's get excited and make things. (An do the house-cleaning.)

An Other Version

Last week I went to school to consult my teachers. I showed them my "freedom of speech" posters and this is the one they preferred. They might be right. Don't know.

Freedom of Speech

So, this is the other poster I submitted for the Poster4Tomorrow campaign.
As for the copy, I actually wanted to put there a few lines from Tracy Chapman's Why. But then I reworded if so as not to risk any infringement on copyrights. The copy would have been this:
"...the time is coming soon, when the blind remove their blinders and the speechless speak the truth..."
I guess this poster was to a large degree inspired by all the dotty images that I've recently saved in my Stuff I Like library. :)
Process is so funny. I actually wanted to make my posters much more "hand-made". That would still be me. I love collaged paper. I was also planning on making some embroidery that would be part of a poster. But during the process, and of course also because I tend to postpone everything up till the last minutes, my posters somehow got to be very simple. And I don't mind.
I'm starting to believe that process is more important than the outcome.

Freedom of Speech

One of the posters that I submitted for Poster4Tomorrow's campaign for Freedom of Speech.
The idea behind this was that people that are not granted the Freedom of Speech, might try to communicate in other ways, i.e. through their works. I'm not sure whether the illustration is clear or not. These are supposed to be mouth-blown glass objects, inspired by a video I saw on YouTube about a Chinese glass factory.

Inspiration: Dot Dot Dot

Beautiful! Dots are so simple and so perfect. I'm kind of in love with dots. I might say I like dots even more than stripes. ;-)
I guess I found theese on ffffound.com.

Almost Famous

Well, far from it, but this poster of mine got displayed at the Museum of Applied Arts. I'm really proud now. :)

A Poster

A poster that I made for an old movie, Andrzej Wajda's Landscape After the Battle, and some sketches for the same.
This again was a school assignment.

Inspiration: Sutnar

I don't know much about Vladimir Sutnar, pioneer of what we now call information design, but I certainly like these pieces from his oeuvre. Diagonals make these works move. Also, I like the idea of combining photography with simple shapes. And I like that he uses color sparingly (regardless of whether this is due to contemporary printing technology or not).

Poster

A poster for the 30th anniversary of the National Industrial Design Awards in Hungary. This was a school assignment. This last semester, among other things, we had to make a few potsers, mostly for films.

Another poster for Billy Eliot

Another version of the Billy Eliot poster that I made for school. I myself prefer this one over the previous one, as here it is not that obvious that the upper arm on the left is too short. I don't think that this poster conveys what Billy Eliot is all about, but as a poster, it's not bad. The main idea here was simply that Billy was the only boy in the ballet school in his hometown.

Poster for Billy Eliot, the movie

This is one of the posters I made for Billy Eliot as a school assignment.
Billy Eliot is among my favorite movies ever. Adorable.
I'm not sure of whether this poster is good enough or not, I didn't show this version anyone except perhaps my brother and my boyfriend.

Romeo, Romeo, Wherefore art Thou Romeo

Poster design for Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet. This again was a school assignment. I somehow wanted to convey the contradiction of this film. Type treatment would still need some polishing.
