Last editions to final Poster design...

GRID STRUCTURE... 

The grid that I've used to arrange my poster is 4x4. It is arranged so that the '100 years of GF Smith Paper' type is in the top half, and then the 'Design Museum' and '1-31 July 2011' type is in the 3rd quarter down.

I have also tried to line up the other letters in the type, but as I cut them out before thinking about the grid, it's hard to move them using Photoshop. But luckily it's all very close anyway.

Then I lined the Design Museum logo up so that it starts on the line.. and sort of lines up with the first '1' in '2011'. I also, with help from a tutor, changed the colouring of the type 'Design Museum'. The pure white before was a bit intrusive, a bit too sharp for the keeping of the rest of the poster. So what we did was take the colour of the whiteness at the top of the poster- the lighter end of it- and used it to colour the text. 

This looks so much better, as it's duller, but fits in a lot better with the hole design of the poster.

So this is my FINAL FINAL FINAL design.. Which I'm getting printed! 

My Globe ... DONE.

The completion of my sculpture..

Starting shape... 

First few bits attached.. the easy part. 

You can see it's starting to get rounded off.. 

To try it out, I just stuck it together using masking tape, so that I could take it apart again. This was making sure that it fitted together properly.. which it KIND OF does..  

Then I took it apart again to cut the slits for the trees, and put it together again, neater, and using clear cello tape where needed.

I made incisions in this one area, so that I could slot the trees in while it was still open at the top.

This is how the trees went it.. This worked just as well as I thought it would.

This, obviously, is what it looks like half completed.. Although it's not finished I actually quite like how it looks at this stage.. 

However also at this stage.. I realise it is EXTREMELY hard to attach the last few bits, as it's inside the globe! Where my fingers can not reach! It's really difficult, but I made some extra tabs to attach, to see if it was easier... 

This did work for most of it.. Also a lot of it looked neater, especially without all the bits of cello tape holding it together. I just used PVA glue to stick the tabs. 

For the last bit, where I physically could not stick the tab on the inside to hold it.. I ended up just glueing part of the shape down, overlapping onto the other shape. Although you can tell it overlaps a bit, it looks much better than it did before overall! 

Now it's COMPLETE.. Time to photograph...

TA DAAA! Here is my final piece. 

I photographed it with my hand holding it to show the scale of it. 

The lighting is not perfect, but you get the idea. 

Looking down from the top.. I quite like this view, the trees look a bit like antlers on a deer or something!

The photos above have been photographed before I decided to glue tabs on.. So you cant tell it is still a bit straight edged. Once it'd been glued.. it looked like this: 

So I photographed it a bit, but I feel like I'm struggling to get a descent photo of it, as I feel it is still a bit messy really.. 

I do however think that the shape of the globe is better now that it's been glued. 

Over and out. PEACE.
