Final Design

Fourth and final designs:

During some more research and development, I came across an image that inspired me and gave me an idea based on the designs I had already drawn.  A graphic triangular poster that consisted of various bold colours and textures.  This helped inspire me to adapt previous triangular designs into the one above. It would be a collage of old media images with a transparent colour overlay. But this is where I had to come up with a theme. After discussion with Dionysia, I decided to stick with Project Cybersyn, which would be a part of the exhibit, and base my poster around it.

For a colour scheme, I wanted to stick with the conventional 70’s colour scheme, which is when project cybersyn was created. Using this, I looked for 70’s images to get a basic sense of the colour scheme. It involved warm colours like orange, yellow and brown with contrasting shades of blue and green to accent it. Patterns and text were bold making It easy to read.

This is where I developed my design for the poster itself on photoshop.

Using the warm colour scheme to create my textured triangles with images from cybersyn and the contrasting blue colour to help the title of Lost Media stand out. The images would be clickable to display information about that part of the exhibit and links to further information. It would also include a science museum logo button in the bottom right hand corner. The buttons will enlarge once hovered over and become dark when clicked on with a clicking noise to accompany it. I also want to have intermittent background noise such as retro digital computer sounds and possibly a telex machine printing.
