This was our initial poster design:
We liked it but we felt it didn't stand out enough and didn't grab people's attention, especially after we'd had a group crit with all the other exhibition groups and no one said anything about it!!
In the group crit I quickly printed out a design I had done at home over Christmas and stuck it on the wall. It immediately got some positive feedback, so we decided to completely re-do our design!
Here is the poster that I had done:
This was back when we were calling our exhibition 66 bpm and not 166 bpm. This is basically a manipulated photograph of my brother's hands which i drew a heart onto. This was the original photograph:
So from this idea we decided to go one step further. Me, Hannah, Mike, Tom, Ness and Sophie J went down to the local butchers and bought ourselves a pig heart. We then had an afternoon photoshoot with the lovely (in other words DISGUSTING) thing. When we bought it it was frozen but as the day wore on it kept getting more and more defrosted, squidgy, bloody and smelly!
Mike had the lucky job of holding the heart, I have to say I did not envy him.
We experimented with different lighting and in the end got some really good images. A successful day (minus the blood!!)
