My creative work experience included making several posters for our exhibition, at a very large file size so that we could print them off at A0 size.
The fundraising posters were just very simple, a photograph of all of us and typography, because it was last minute we needed them.
I also printed out my works I had recently done to sell as posters at the fundraising stalls. Below are the ones that I created and print out to sell:
For our main poster, I decided to go for a simple design but with bright colours in the centre to be eye catching. I also needed to create another version in landscape for Kyle in printing services because it needed to fit the screens around college at 1920x1080, so I created a new document the size i needed and imported the post, and created more white background. I also selected each part of the poster and moved them around individually to make it look better.

🌼HOSTS:
I found the host artists very inspirational and made me want to participate, and I enjoyed being able to see what everyone else was doing by looking at the hashtags that were for the challenge.
The prompt that I chose to enter ran march 8-10th and it was called Blooming House.
I did plan to do all of the prompts but I ran out of time trying to do everything. I plan to carry them on in my spare time though. I liked what I came up with although I feel I can do a lot better if I had more time to devote to it, so I plan to push myself to do better.
Here are some pictures of inspiration and to advertise the challenge:
These were my inspiration photos that I found on Pinterest:
I made a mood board to refer to:
These were my working progress pics:
But in the end I decided to do it in digital watercolour:
College Exhibition of my Dragon Children's Illustrations:
Exhibition Tasks
I got a lot of work experience from planning and putting up my exhibition pieces at our Exeter exhibition. I learnt how to put frames on the wall, the frame sizes, how to hang things form the ceiling and that odd numbers of frames look better than even numbers for some reason. I also learnt that I need to do test samples of the fabric before printing it out on large amounts to check that the colours print out correctly.
Overall I am very pleased at how my display for the exhibition turned out. I like the way it is minimalist simple and neutral, so the focus is on the illustrations. I was proud to show off my work to everyone.
