Visual communication day 2

On the second day we begun the day by talking about the course again but more specifically looking at illustrators work that related to our final piece task of creating a typeface and then a slogan based final piece. I was particularly interested in the work of Jean Jullien and Bob Roberta Smith.

I decided to base my idea around the eu and young people, so i began researching into symbols as well as objects associated to the EU.

I then took this idea of using the EU symbols of the starts to create the letters and began working on this.

I decide I liked this and that I wanted the run with this and the typeface for my final piece. I also choose the slogan R EU MINE? as a pun on the arctic monkeys song R U MINE as a comment on the state of the EU negotiations and because this song is so popular with young people.

Now i was happy i began to draft for the final piece and then create it:

I decided to present in the way i have because i wanted too portray it as a love note between two young people as a comment on young people relationship with the EU as well as the people in it. It also like with the song name as is the kind of thing you would expect in a love letter.
