Instructional poster


As a side project we designed an instructional poster showing how some Disobedient objects have been made. The designs are very simplistic and remind me of icon imagery as they are very linear and one colour, I wanted to recreate the bold background and layout as it would link more to the initial designs of the exhibition.


I chose to re-design the "Flone" instructional poster, originally I couldn't find the poster so found instructions on how they were made and used that to help with my design. Using Illustrator I used the pen tool to trace over a stencil for a drone (Flone) this was difficult as there was a lot of different angle I had to consider as well as small boxes and circles. The most difficult part to draw was the circuit as i didn't want it to look too complicated, so it doesn't look as detailed as the rest of my drawings. For the background I made it a golden yellow colour to make the black pop of the page and to get the audiences attention, as well as it relating to the original posters.

To link it more to the original poster I added the Exhibition logo in the corner and the text "Disobedient Objects" to link more.As for the box layout I kept it very simple and similar to the posters. If i could change anything I would try to add another box and image as the images look too big and out of place.

Dominic Murphy is a British artist who works in a very gruesome and dark art way. Lots of his work is based around Alice in wonderland. I like how he uses a lot of colour but in a monotone kind of sense, making the piece look more gruesome and horrible. All his artwork is very realistic which works well in his favour as it adds more of a weird and creepy aspect to the work. It has inspired me to use colour but in a neutral and with a low saturation through out the book.

Original stories Dinsey used to base their movies off

Lots of Disney films are based off Original books that are changed to be more compatible with their child audience. The original stories are quite gruesome and horrid, I want to make a Illustrated piece to show people that not all stories begin happy.

Adbusters Research

 Adbusters is a website that fights consumerism brands/people using powerful posters that have a strong meaning/story for the audience. Adbuster shows consumers how bad company's are to the environment and to them. My favourite image is of a baby being breast fed and the mother having a burger painted on her boob, this is very inspiring as it shows that any bad greasy food the mother eats so does the baby, this poster is meant to open women's eyes up to being careful of what they eat when pregnant. This has inspire me to try and develop a certain logo and change it into something bad they do; Pepsi logo being turned into an obese person as there is a lot of sugar and calories in them.
