I then added text to my poster design. I considered about adding my
clipping mask however I had used the same image in that which made it
very difficult to read the writing and the text didn’t create a
complementary contrast with the imagery. I decided to use the same
font that I used in my clipping mask but I chose to use it as just plain
black. This contrasted well to the busy imagery in the background.
However the writing still didn’t stand out as much as I like because of
the contrast between the shadows and highlights. Therefore I chose to
mimic this in the text and overlay the black text on top of a white version
of it. This effect I really liked because it pushed the exhibition title
forward and added more depth to the poster.
Next I wanted to change the
background because the plain white
didn’t highlight the imagery well, but I
didn’t want to change the colour or add
a pattern because it would then detract
the attention away form the imagery. I
decided to add shadows to the
background which was successful and
highlighting the image.
