Darwinian
From the poster ‘Carnival,’ the inspiration to create a more relatable, sporting piece was inevitable. Therefore by using a trainer and a stiletto, I created a new type of shoe showing a Darwinian experience of the morphing from a normal sports shoe to a stiletto.
Using PowerPoint and Photoshop, I was able to crop, rotate and group many of the photos which I had taken of the trainer as primary research to produce the first morphed trainer. By using the basic shape of a short healed stiletto, I layered each of the pictures in turn to make sure every line and lace was in place. The next step was to show the trainer in the form of the normal stiletto shape and therefore created the three stages of the evaluation.
The change in scale of the evolving shoe gives the feeling of progress incorporating a time scale to the poster and symmetry between each picture. The background was also created with symmetry in mind. Using the picture of the stripy legs, I was still able to keep the multi-sex colours and showed a basic link towards the white shoes. However, to give the poster a sense of movement and a creative edge, I added a trail to portray a track in which the competitors would run. Also by adding a figure at the end of the track, it shows a relatable side to the viewer.
I soon realized that using any text with colour onto the background would not contrast enough to stand out; therefore by using the black rectangular shape, it broke the poster up to make the text jump out the page. I used the blue/green colour so that the text would be relatable to Brighton incorporating the colour of the sea front railings and therefore the lower text (purple) to connect with the trainer.
I believe this poster shows a relatable side to the sport and basing the piece on Stephen Smith who used bold shapes and twists text showed me that the compositions do not have to be overcrowded or direct the eye in every angle to the piece, usually having one main object is enough to inspire people.
In the end, I believe this piece is a multi-sexual, combining sport and fashion within the shoe and brings an iconic activity to amuse and create fun.
