OUGD405 - Cell Phone Symphony - Silent Critique

With some stark changes to this poster design, this subsequent group critique yielded some really positive feedback, as well as a few valuable ideas to be considered for final alterations in the designs refinement. 

“More colour or a more complex design in the background to make it less flat?” -  The background of the poster is one single block colour which does give it a fairly flat impression, however since the type and imagery is fairly complex, a more intricate background could convolute the entire design a bit too much. Perhaps a magenta hue, the inversion of the green background, could create some vibrating boundaries which might have a dynamic effect. 

“Make an entire typeface out of the treble clef?” - Although this would be a very interesting idea to develop and it does work for select letterforms in the type, to use it for the entirety of the heading typography may make the poster too illegible.

“More hand rendered and physical processes?” - A lot of the previous discarded designs in initial ideas used some effective hand rendered and physical processes, however despite that, this design was the strongest and was therefore the one which was developed more. So physical image making techniques have still been explored in this project, however the effectiveness of using them on this developed poster is uncertain, perhaps for the background imagery?
