Here is the poster that i designed for the upcoming student exhibition. To me there is alot going on in this poster in terms of design principles.
What strikes me the most is the level of depth that can be found in this photo through the use of transparency and also the millions of layers of shapes as well.
Also, there is alot of contrast as well. Different contrasts include shapes, colours, different textures, light and dark areas as well as soft and hard objects which appear everywhere here.
There is a slight hint of continuence going on here as well...only slight but it is there..through the use of the lines which start on the sides and seem to flow through the title and out of the page again.
There is also a real use of positive and negative space going on here. At the top is cluttered with heaps of colorful objects as well as the title and a description where the bottom is left pretty much open.
With the black and white picture in the background..again there is heaps of contrast here where ive bumped on the contrast between the white and black which gives it alot of depth and again, alot of texture as well.
Brains a little dead at the moment, so im going to leave it at that :) hope i got em all

Hi Michael
Great poster. Your most obvious observation is the contrast of greyscale and use of colour which makes this striking.
There really is no focal point ot it and I think that is the point of the design ... the frenzied chaotic effort at getting an event like this organized. Contrast that with the poster of the peaceful dove ... representing more the inspiration behind the artwork - and it is obvious what message you were trying to communicate.
I'd like to see you continue using your new graphic design vocabulary ... adding in all of the gestalt principles that we have been talking about ... remember them .... similarity, dissimilarity/anomoly, continuance, figure-ground (there were three types) proportion, balance, rhythm ...
I can see the increased effort and growing sophistication in your designs as well, I believe a growing vocabulary for speaking about what you do as a designer. Good work.
