GRA210 Final Poster Concept: King Lear

Not a lot of major changes going on here; primarily just changes in the positioning and the size of the type used in the poster. Initial concepts can be found by clicking here: http://graemethedigitalmediaartist.blogspot.ca/2012/07/3rd-annual-toronto-shakespeare-festival.html

Final Design

3rd Annual Toronto Shakespeare Festival: King Lear

For our second to last project in GRA210, we were tasked with designing a poster for the 3rd Annual Toronto Shakespeare festival.

You're allowed to choose any of William Shakespeare's plays; I chose "King Lear", simply because everyone else chose either Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet. Just trying to mix things up a bit.

So the following are the 3 concepts I came up with for "King Lear". My prof and I both agreed that the last one is the most effective design, simply because the crown is an actual creation as oppose to just finding an image online and pasting it into the poster. I got the idea for the crown from this tutorial. I didn't want to use the 3D effect in Illustrator, simply because it would cause my own machine to lag.

GRA220: Raptors Survey

This is the first post I've made for my Software Training course, mainly because everything I've built in that course has been relatively straight forward. This Raptors survey project is probably the most challenging one I've encountered thus far. Lot's of finicky formatting of the copy (hanging indents, text wrap, paragraph rule, find and replace, setting tabs etc.) Took about 2 and half hours to complete. A tad frustrating at times, but the end result is quite nice.
