Progression of Senior Show Entry-Poster

In expectation to the 2010-2011 graduating senior's, PCA&D promotes the graphic design senior's to develop concepts for the show. Although the show includes all four major's, the designs must represent us as a whole but does not have to correlate the different majors.

With that in mind, my original idea was a illustrated, outlined work and the mix of a wide variety of mediums. Then I moved into an allusion related concept. With that I gathered a few friends and began a 3 hour per-person mission. Paint their entire upper half and add different kinds of simple symbols.

The process included opaque acrylic paint mixed with dish soap for the comfort of the models and easy removal. I painted almost all the skin, careful to move around any piercings, mouth and ears. The hair was digitally colored as well for the comfort of the models. With the poster the color was digital tuned up for more visual aesthetics and to match the vibrance of the other pieces. Then the final point was to sample the color of the painted skin for the background and sample a piece of the symbol from the skin to re-make the pattern in the back.

Therefore, make the model blend in with their surroundings. The main point of my concept here was to show what artists see in everyday life and for us to share that view with our audience. I love when everyone can "be a part of.." the art we all share in the world.
