VOGUE, salut







These are a selected few of my posters, I think my favourite is either the last one simply because of it's simplicity, or the third one. One of my words that I specifically focused on was 'French', it was something I instantly thought of when 'vogue' was mentioned, and I also liked the idea of producing a poster focusing primarily on another language?
I researched into the French language a little further than GCSE, in terms of translating poetry and phrases. I wrote a short poem that is printed across the poster, and the phrase repeated in most of the posters translates as 'I am someone, but who?'
I chose the colours blue and red because they are the colours of the French flag, I also think they work well together.
Other designs I did were quite different, I produced others with slightly more colour but didn't really like them as much.




Although I originally stated I was aiming to communicate clarity through my posters, looking over mine now the fact they are in the other language obviously isn't very clear. I was aiming to communicate a sketchy type of look, as if people always seem to want what they don't have, picture themselves differently then they actually are?
In a way i'm approaching quite a deep, serious matter, but I would still like to maintain the quirky, arty, interesting type of look with my posters.
