De Stijl Poster

My Final Project purpose was to design a poster that explains an art movement and designer that influenced this movement. I chose "De Stijl" because it is a stepping stone for many different art forms. The poster combines different types of De stijl in one, using the traditional colours and positioning. The Designer, Theo Van Doesburg, was built by De Stijl shapes and colours as well to blend into his own work.

This is an example of the art form "De Stijl". It is composed mostly of primary colours and dark lines. In other works you will find shapes and some different tones of these colours. De Stijl is also used in Furniture design as well as building design.

Finals

For the final I reattached the wings to the Hornet and brought the lettering down underneath the wings. I changed the colour of the lines to match the BCC font and the eye colour to meet the minimum colour limit and also because it is cleaner. With this shirt I wanted to bring simplicity yet strength with the design and a small creative twist to the norm.

Because of the difficulty to read the font in the comp, I changed the colour of Broome to yellow as well, and filled in the community college blank spots with yellow. The semi busy feeling of the shirt is good compatibility with the lifestyle of college and is interesting enough to make for a good shirt.

This shirt is the same as the comp, the position of the geese as well as the colours and shape in all seemed fine. I chose this design because of the light hearted feel of it. People can relate to this in humorous, good, bad, and preservative ways. The design would go over well for most students.

Comp

For this T-shirt I took off the Hornets wings to see how he would look (sort of like cutting off my left ear). The font is colour dropped from the eyes and I lessened the amount of lines and made them blue.

Comp

This is the back of the shirt below. Geese represent a big part of BCC for many different reasons-I also added a little hornet to lead them along to incorporate our mascot.

Originally I had Broome in black and Community College in yellow. I wanted to stick to the basic colours of BCC but still fit the sign on the back of the shirt. I chose it to overlap because it was a little different than other designs I observed and I liked the correspondence to the back of the shirt (which is the goose crossing sign).

The assignment was to design a shirt that is compatable to be sold at the Bcc school store. These are the thumbnails.
