First brief back we had to design 3 postcards one full colour, one 3 colour, one 2 colour and the last one colour. I felt some of my postcards worked better then others.
My full colour image worked well, i printed using my little lexmark printer onto textured paper which made the image more appealing to look at and touch.
I felt that my three colour was poorly designed and although i did try to play with mixing three colours to create more colours i didnt think it worked well and doesnt look professional or interesting.
I had a running theme through my postcards which was texture and feel, so when it came to my one colour pictogram i felt the need to make it appear as a textured pattern. I used acrylic paint and printed through stencil onto card to create my postcard. By having my pictogram patterened like so it pushes the question to whether it is actually a pictogram. Personally i think its simple enough to understand and the message is clear but other people might find this debatable.
I enjoyed making my two colour logo with stencils and acrylic. I had fun playing with positive and negative space as can be seen in my development work. I think it works fairly well but probably should be a little more tidy and block coloured. However it does keep to my textured theme well.
