developments

another newish idea: the big bird made of lots of smaller ones. Also using the splatter/messy effects & scale to make the black one seem evil.
added words - not sure if the one with dark words or light ones inside it works better? the first is like it's expelling them, the second like it's made up of them..


cropped in closer and experimented with lots of different coloured backgrounds - red works best at showing evilness, but because the small bird is rainbow that means part of it gets lost, no matter what colour is used.

and adding a bit of white just creates a bar like it's being protected, which is not the point of the poster


I think overall I like the black and white best- because they are the "straight flag" colours and also the small bird being the only colour means it's a focal point, and adds to the meaning of it being good and unique. Also cropped it in a bit so it's more trapping.


inverted?




-------------------------------------


Made the words inverted - which means I can make the black darker and create more contrast and dynamism

A slightly lighter version because it usually comes out darker from the printer.




A slightly cropped version of this one- centering it instead?

Or using photographic images of birds? I like the way it fades to darkness, leaving a nice space for the headline.. I feel like I need to find a better rifleman photo, because this one doesn't quite suit - it looks bored and isn't looking up at the birds?

The outline of negative space around the bottom looks awkward here.
