This was the outcome of the A2 poster I created, which is supposed to promote an aspired exhibition of my work at the Cartoon Museum in summer, 2033. The idea is that I am coming out of a TV screen asking passers by if they will be coming to my exhibition, much in the style of the WW2 propaganda posters. In the wooden under compartment of the TV set up is the brief, clear information that people may need to know.
I don't feel this poster is very effective. The main issue I have with it is the fact that the character (me) coming out of the TV should have a stronger presence, hidden behind a shoulder and hair gives a standoffish feel to the image, whereas I wanted it to be more confrontational and therefore more engaging. Their presence should have consumed more of the poster. However, I do like some visual aspects of it, like the shading in the wood, the ripples in the TV screen and the use of colour and pen markings on the hand pointing out of the screen. Also, I feel it has successfully related to the kind of work going to be seen at the exhibition e.g. cartoons, animations etc.
