Final Resolutions

A2 Poster:

I am fairly pleased with how this has turned out. The process in which I drew all the  pencil marks digitally was incredibly time consuming however, and is not something I would like to do again. 

It would've been easier to do it by hand and then scan/colour the scene in, but I did it as an experiment and by the time I realized it would work, I had done enough of the poster to make starting again traditionally pointless. 

• The decision to remove the 4 figures in favour of having Carroll on the boat in the distance was a good decision. The image has much more subtlety now and is more harmonious. 
• This addition has made me realize however that the bridge is too large. I've scaled the boat with the rest of the image with this in mind- I may as well leave the bridge to be disproportionate on its own rather than bringing the boat down with it.

Postcards:

• I think the postcards are simple enough and of a charming concept to work. 
• I think re-using a section of the poster for the background was a good idea to save time. It's a shame that I had to use the same section for all the postcards, but I didn't feel that the background had enough different areas that worked well as backgrounds for me to make each one unique. 
• Keeping the character cards blank as opposed to colouring them in was also a good idea as they have more impact and charm in this form.

Stamps:

• I struggled with the stamps. I wasn't sure how to design for such a small format and then finding a way to make my chosen visual style work with it was even harder.
• I considered leaving them blank like the character cards but this felt incomplete.
• I think using the pencil like marks for the background is reminiscent enough of the other sets though and helps to hold it together.
