lyrics & type — Wolves

• Evidence of brainstorming and selection of song lyrics (keywords, music analysis), rough visualization sketches (paper, iPad)”
• Which songs did you consider and what led to your selection?
  • “Wolves” -Selena Gomez (my final choice), “Lose Yourself” -Eminem, “Match in the Rain” – Alec Benjamin
  • I randomly ran through my like list to pick them
• Show all of your rough ideas – thumbnail sketches and mind-maps
  • 
  • I was trying to use the element in the lyrics to replace some of the letters.

• Detailed development drawings (paper, iPad):
• Show your top 3 detailed drafts (colour, A4) (with any notes required to describe the concept)
  • 
  • I didn’t have enough idea and found it difficult to draw on the iPad, so I didn’t develop the drafts deep. I chose this one to further improve on affinity because I found a reference to help me with the style of it and made it easier to do. The song actually had two sentences and I also wanted to make the wolf at first, but I found there’s no time and I could only keep one 🙁

  • This is my first version referencing the image below.
  • 

• Evidence of peer feedback & response:
• Document the feedback process (show notes, sketches)
  • Mr. Griffin: after referencing the style and making my own version, try not to look at it again and make my own thing with a variety of colors and elements.
  • Nan: the single lines of the letter seem thin so I can add in another layer.
• What was the feedback, what did you change in response to the feedback?
  • As I add in more plant and animal elements, it looked much better
  • 
  • after that, I accepted Nan’s advice by adding a white outline onto the color and it looked like the final one below.

• Demonstrate growth in technical and design skills:
• Typography music styles worksheet with written analysis using type terminology
• 
• Practicing vector drawings – tracing the logo, Affinity worksheet
  • I traced the letter so that I can change some parts of them easily afterward, I also traced all the animals and plants.

• Create a high-quality design: 
• Embed a PNG of your finished poster
• 
• Include a link to download the full-sized PDF

• Explain the strengths weaknesses of the process and product: 
• Using design terminology, how does your poster successfully communicate the style of the song?
  • It is a pop song but I don’t really know how to express it with the way of organizing the letter, so I add in more colors in order to make it have a flow on the color.
• How did you manipulate the typography to communicate?
  • I want to emphasize the JUNGLE, so I used different colors to it. Also, the colors are warm colors which made contrasts with the green cold color. Furthermore, all animals and plants element I added were all living in the jungle so it gives the audience a straight sign of a jungle image.
• Which design elements and principles are emphasized in your work and how does this help the communication and/or style of your poster?
  • color: I used the color of jungle — green, but for the “JUNGLE” I want to emphasize, I used a completely different color system with the warm color to make the word stand out.
  • scale: the most important “jungle” is the biggest word as ‘the’ is much smaller as a not important word.
