Poster Project Stance Reflection

1) I believe that my stance was perfectly represented in my poster project. To show the image of the film industry changing as we know it I showed Hollywood as a stage play thats stage was starting to collapse. The pillars that held up the stage fall apart as the colored words that represent film genres start to bend and fall from the stress. 2) My old poster showed Hollywood as a tree thats roots were beginning to rot as the modern film industry died, I could never quite get this image to be properly represented in illustrator so I changed it to the stage play image I have now. I am far more satisfied with my current image than my past one. 3) My first poster left me clueless, I could barely come up with an idea of what to put with the roots and I was left with a gross blank canvas that had nothing to show Thankfully my final poster perfectly captured my stance and had a decent apperance as well The changes I made for the final poster were very drastic and driven by the fact that actually seeing the layout of my root idea told me how awful it was. The stage play change allowed me to show my stance very well. 4) I feel my strongest category was my design, I created an image that is somewhat memorable and the variety of text and color made me very happy with the final appearance of the piece. My worst category was the concept, I liked my idea of showing a change in the film industry but it took a very long time before I was confident that my design worked well with my concept. 5) Conceptually finding a design that fit my stance was extremely hard due to just how heavily my original work was criticized, I started to doubt if it was a good idea at all. 6) Technically, using illustrator drove me insane and I absolutely hated trying to deal with the programs nonsense.
