~>Producing a freak show Poster child

Pardon the show photo snapped before its prohibition was known 

Time to shed some light and put the pen down on paper.

I've begun gathering the shots and ideas for the Venice Beach Freak Show poster and I've  narrowed down some themes to pursue.







By researching detail function as it appears in Paul Benett's view of British design, I am examining the messages conveyed in my own copies of imagery. I am particularly intrigued by  "The blinding glimpse of the bleeding Truth" statement in the TED presentation.









At contemplating the puzzlement of freak lifestyle, I am trying to derive a civil angle for the portrayal of such bizarre figures.

Joy!

  1. Estenfanie - like the few photos
    Very simple organization. This was an easier add to address, but it took you along time because simplicity does not mean easier – what you have realized is less needs a lot more organization. The sprint logo at the bottom as you said would probably work better with movement through out the frame. Good suggestion to have the photo on an angle. Watch your spacing between the blocks of information – a bit difficult especially between the last 2 pieces of information.
