Art Poster 2
This specific poster is on the theme of ‘Space’, and was the result of playing around with words and graphic illustration. I thought it would be cool to imagine an alien shaped target dummy – the kind you see on hand gun firing ranges in movies or CSI, but with an intergalactic twist. Kind of Sci-Fi meets the Wild West idea. The cowboy hat shows the sheriff’s star shaped badge, but with a ‘biohazard’ safety icon on it. As well as the concentric circles on the alien’s chest – normally a target to aim at, but this time becomes a diagram of our solar system. All in good fun.
This poster was the second of three, entered into the OneWord Poster Design Competition 2011 (in conjunction with Denmaur Independent Papers). All three posters were selected for the exhibition in London. The brief was to design a poster inspired by one of these individual words: Change / Search / Freedom / Social / Space / Enough. Rather than design posters of serious issues, I tackled these with a more light-hearted approach. Life is serious enough!
