Poster experimentation 1

- I love the aesthetic of 60's psychedelic patterns, and so I selected samples of them and placed them on this image of James. Here are some of the patterns that caught my eye when researching:

- I love the bright colours that are used, and I wanted to incorporate these vibrant block colours to create a poster that is funky and eye catching, whilst also giving a nod to the origins of LSD and hallucinogenics.

- I have used lines from the fourth image on this experimentation. I have resized and rotated these to create a new pattern.

- I chose this image of James as it is centrally framed, and his eyes looking down the camera. The colouring is very strong, with blue on the left and pink on the right. His face appears red and striking, which is strong and perfect for a poster. The space around the edge  allows for elements to be added.

- I have enhanced the colours in the image of James for an even more dramatic effect.

- I have used the font from the 1967 film 'The Trip', as it matches the style of the patterns. The white is striking on top of the rest of the vibrant colour.

- However, I am not going to use this design for my poster, as the aesthetic is too 'old'. My trailer is very modern, and therefore this poster is not coherent to my film. The visual references to the 60s does not match, and is therefore irrelevant.

- Also, the font I have used does not match the font that I have used throughout my trailer. Therefore I cannot use the font I have chosen here (as they must match).
