To advertise our call for submissions we decided putting posters up around the college was a good way of getting students within LCA involved in our exhibition. Me and Dan worked on the design for these, producing a mash up aesthetic from old billboard posters taken down from the cylinder stands around Leeds. This left us with a combination of type and colour, ripped apart giving the posters more texture and visual interest.
Dan and I have created several physical posters to promote and advertise our call for submissions for Goat Collective curated exhibition Disposable Society, which is on at the beginning of March 2016.
To create these we used the disposed of posters taken down from the billboard columns in Leeds city centre, furthering our concept of reusing disposed of materials. The ripped up, collage effect includes many colours and is visually appealing, creating a visual aesthetic in itself that fits with the concept. We added the vital information only to keep the posters as minimal as possible, using black text printed on white paper and cut in to strips to be placed over the collaged background we had manually ripped to achieve the best effect.
After we handed our dissertations in with a lot of stress for COP 3, we realised the submission deadline was looming and would come around very quickly. To compensate for third years, and give everyone a bit more extra time, we decided to extend the submission date until the 20th February.
We changed dates on the online brief and updated social media sites to inform everyone. Throughout college we stuck with the same aesthetic by sticking hand drawn dates over the original '7th'.
