design practice: Design Principles: What is a line?

I decided to have a rethink about my posters as although i did like the idea there wasn't much attachment to the fact this new range is mean to be fashionable for younger people so i had the idea of attaching famous icons who are known for wearing glasses wearing the Aztec range.

I traced round famous icon Lady Gaga who is frequently seeing wearing exaggerated glasses as shown in my research. I chose the image wear she has a bow out of hair in her hairstyle as i wanted it to be an image recognisable to her.

I didn't like the effect i was getting from using two tones of colour so after experimenting with that i decided to try a texture instead.

This i felt worked much better but there something right so i changed the glasses and tried different traces.

This full shape which included body as well as hair i think worked a lot better.

To show they were prescription glasses i added the light tone to the lens.

Another icon i did was Harry Potter as one of the glass frames i had created i noticed was similar to the glasses his wear. This adds an alternative to gender and a different type of icon.

When i'd finished these two designs i was happy with the result. I added text to explain that it was advertising a new range at Specsavers and lightly added aztec pattern to the background of the posters.

I looked back at my other poster designs and realised a lot of them were very much the same, simple and not much interesting about them. After having the hindsight of time and this new design idea i decided to discard some of them and altered the others that i thought worked better to the style of the icon posters so theres a running theme in them.

I felt the text in grey worked better than the aztec now it had a different background.

I liked the idea of using this background on these posters as it was a theme then running through the posters and also it represents the unclearness of sight when not wearing glasses.
