TYPOLOGY POSTER WEEK 2 - Final
 |
| Rough layout |
Plan
- I plan on keeping the whole poster simple and minimalistic to suit the concept of technology.
- It would either be in different shades of blue or black
- Going back to the idea of 'linking', I thought that it would be interesting to link these different electronic devices with cables and it all leads to one power source, with a switch on it.
Problems
- I wasn't too satisfied with the look of fine liner and ink. It's more of an issue on how I draw these images. No matter how many times I draw these phones it wouldn't look clean and precise.
- Through the on/off switch, I intend to convey the idea of energy coming out from these devices flowing and it could be switch off. Somehow with the monochromatic scheme, I am having difficulties in communicating that idea.

| Material + colour testing |
Solution
- I tried out paper cutting as it gives a more upright and angular look.
- It wasn't intentional at first when I thought of using contrasting colours for the background and the foreground. When I had cut out the screens, I set it on a different coloured paper and I like how it seems to illuminate the subject.
Other Concerns
- I wasn't sure if this would still be considered a monochromatic poster.
- I used gouache and somehow the images weren't really visible. I was really fixated on keeping it monochromatic and the colours I chose for the electronic devices were too similar to the coloured paper. It's difficult to see when I held the poster up.

| Colours to subtle? Contrast? |

| 호떡 (Korean Pancakes) by Coen Pohl |
- Coen Pohl's illustrations aren't exactly monochromatic but I was actually inspired by his work, particularly because of the simplicity and choice of colour. It's very minimal, using one specific colour and contrast it with a darker shade. It's an interesting way to highlight the subject and illustrate light/shadow.
