For this design I took one of the collages I had created previously and made it into a vector. I then duplicated this and merged two together. The colour used in the background is the same colour used in the original poster and I think it works well as it replicates light which is fitting for the end of the black out.
For this design I took a photo that I had taken of the town hall and erased all the windows, my reasoning behind this was because during the blackout they would've had to be bordered up/ had black out curtains behind them. I wanted to put my focus on the windows and the fact that after the war they could now shine light out of them so I chose a bright colour (swatched from the union jack on top of the building) to replicate the light. I decided to put the rest of the image in black and white to emphasise the brightness of the windows.
I then elaborated on this idea and used some of the collages I had created to add text. I added the same red/pink from the windows to this to represent the fact I would print these words in the same colour.
My other poster design derived from the clock that told people what time the blackout would be on each specific day. I chose not to add any text because I think the clock in the background made it pretty explicit that it related to time.
My final design is another photo I took outside the town hall. I tried to get it in the same position that a photo from 70 years ago had been taken (at the event) I then chose to put i snippet of the old photo overlapping the current photo. I put it in two lines to look a bit like a pause sign so when people look at it they take a minute to actually take it in and realise the history leeds has to offer.
The feedback that I got from my crit was that I had done a good amount of research and my event was interesting. The design people liked the most was the last one as it had a combination of present and past which is done nicely.
