We were asked to produce five A3 roughs for a poster, my title being 'Live Green, Love Green, Think Green'. I started out by looking through my sketchbooks to see what nature drawings I had, or anything that's associated with green. Birds seemed to be the overiding theme so I used sketches I'd done previously and drew from them to create a context in which my phrase would be suitable. My ideas are subtle, there is nothing particualy outstanding within them, nothing that would utterly convince you to be green, I don't suppose I'm clever enough for that. I just thought that the simplicity they hold would make them stand out at a glance, so the mesage is being put across fairly rapidly.
Not sure which to go with yet, obviously whichever it is will need more work, although I do like the idea of using the black paper to create shapes. This will be particulary useful when the image is blown up full scale because it won't lose much detail, and the blocks of black will provide a reasonable amount of contrast with the white to make it a bold image.
