After a lot of toil, we finished the poster last week. Here it is in all its glory.

I still cant fully think in right way, but it was certainly enlightening.

After last session we had a pasted up poster, this session we started to turn the mock-up into a full piece. Starting with the largest letters, inking them up and registering the paper properly. This was an interesting process, as we got to see the press working, seeing the ink spread etc.

This was followed by the VCT session where we had to create collages, based on image and text, but with the theme of systems. Our group created five seperate pieces which we then combined together. We took the front page from five different newspapers, then cut out all pictures, text and headlines. This left us with the gutter from all of the collages, showing the grid structure. Then we placed them all on top of each other to compare. This created an interesting series of patterns, but it highlighted certain similarities.
