The Brief<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

Create 2 posters, one using computer programs like Illustrator or Photoshop.\u00a0 And the other poster uses any other physical mediums like cut paper or collage.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

My Interpretation<\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n

I chose the play 'The Comedy of Errors', which is about 2 brothers who get mistaken for each other and hilarity ensues.\u00a0 So for my design, I made a wanted poster style with the 2 brothers facing each other.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For my physical medium, I decided to create a linocut print, using a rubber linocut block and cutters.\u00a0 And for the computer-made one, I used Illustrator; for both, I used the same design, but they turned out differently.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The left photo is a progress shot of my linocut; it was very tedious work, and it took a while to get the hang of it since I had never done something like this before, but it was also very fun to do something new.\u00a0 The right is a picture of the finished project. I found some paper that had a very distressed texture to give it an old-timey look.\u00a0 I like how the ink and paper have a very natural feel to them and how there are some inconsistencies in the inking.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

I used the same concept as my handmade one, but I was able to make some much-needed tweaks to make the design better.\u00a0 In my opinion, the type treatment on this one is much more successful because the hierarchy is better.\u00a0 I wanted to give this one the same kind of texture that I had on the other one; it was harder to achieve, but I still think it turned out well.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"project_category":[5],"project_tag":[],"class_list":["post-524","project","type-project","status-publish","hentry","project_category-design"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mu-art.org\/carolineflynn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mu-art.org\/carolineflynn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mu-art.org\/carolineflynn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mu-art.org\/carolineflynn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mu-art.org\/carolineflynn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=524"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/mu-art.org\/carolineflynn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/524\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":530,"href":"https:\/\/mu-art.org\/carolineflynn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/524\/revisions\/530"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mu-art.org\/carolineflynn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"project_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mu-art.org\/carolineflynn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_category?post=524"},{"taxonomy":"project_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mu-art.org\/carolineflynn\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project_tag?post=524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
