week 11

This week I moved away from logo design and focused on moving back in time and trying to create a vintage 1920s feeling in my designs. I was limiting myself too much with the logo design and I felt that I needed to be able to just play around with other design elements. I created two beginnings of posters, which I plan on adding more to. I was interested in exploring design elements such as swirls, banners and other decorative elements which based off of my research was typical design during that time. As a put these elements together, I started to creative a mood, which to me felt dated and vintage- a feeling that I would really like to have in my designs. In addition, I kept my designs to a limited color palette- so far they are black and gold. Unlike the logos that I had done before, this color choice felt more sophisticated. Finally, I am also starting to get the elegant feel that I have been trying to achieve. I am excited with where my designs have started to go. I cant wait to turn them into a whole promotional poster design which is coming next!
