Bath Uni - Poster designs

I have been struggling to come up with a satisfactory poster design for a little while now. Basically I wanted a simple template that could be used for four A2 posters, one for each of the four areas covered by the Bath Uni brief:
  • Element Scarcity
  • Attitudes to Chemicals
  • Fuels for the Future
  • Bioplastics
I thought it would be nice to use the symbols we created for the stencils and screenprint them in a single flat orange colour, as close as possible to the one we have used for everything else.

As it happens, I came up with this rather nice design using a subtle orange gradient, so I may print them digitally instead:



If there is enough time, I will still try to screenprint a bunch of these. Problem is screenprint will be insanely busy from now until final hand-in, plus getting Steve to print the artwork onto transparency will also take forever. It might be best to do them digitally for hand-in, then do the screenprints afterwards when things have died down.

Once the posters are printed, the only remaining tasks for this project will be to screenprint the t-shirts, labcoats and the sheet that will go over their tables. And the stickers that will go on the paper coffee cups. Again, if there is time I may put a simple website together where people can go to get more information than can be printed on the leaflet and posters.
