The history poster shares most of its information through illustration. The history of Les Paul guitars is not complicated. It starts with the man on the poster who is Les Paul. He is the inventor of the electric guitar but also plays the guitar with awesome talent. The Les paul guitar did not change much so the different guitars that are visible do not look any different, but they are decades apart. I based the design on art Nouveau though it is not symmetrical it has many elements that represents design during this time period. Nouveau is mostly visual aesthetics with one or two words, hand written. So I wrote "original" on the poster. If there were one word to describe the Les Paul and still make reference to the history, "original" is the one. The color I used were dull and strayed away from high contrast. I did this because that was the norm in Nouveau design. The color is not as important as the movement created with linear elements. But what represents Nouveau the most is the design on the top right. It is a signature style of Art Nouveau. Overall i do not think i was as successful as i was in the past. I did not pay attention to the thirds as much and i think that there is too much going on in the middle, but the design has no problem moving the eye around. Also i do not feel that it is a very balanced piece. One reason is it feels top heavy because of the design that is on the top right. I tried to balance it out by adding a darker red on the guitar that is being played, and it did help, but was not as successful as needed. I also underestimated how hard it would be to transform a drawn out design to digital media. I wanted to keep the handmade feel of the poster and my mistake was not making perfect handmade poster. I thought i could add color and edit what i want but once i started doing that there was a noticeable difference on the poster of what was handmade and what was digital. The idea was good but the final outcome was confused and unprofessional. Next time i attempt to do such a thing I will either make it handmade in a way that it needs no editing just scan and print, or i can create a handmade design that is open to digital manipulation.
