Simple Analysis - Gig posters

Intro Contextual Investigation for Gig Posters

Task:
Over a few pages in your sketchbook, complete a contextual investigation into gig posters as a 'form'.
Use THIS helpsheet to help you structure your findings and responses.

Here are a few ways that you could begin your investigation:

• Print off a range of posters, either new or old or a mix of both - scamp some of them and discuss why they are characteristic of the form.
• Complete a short 'history of' gig posters
• ...

You are expected to complete at least 2 double pages spreads.
Remeber that your pages should always have lots of 'your hand' in them. This means including your personal touch that is in keeping with the project, drawing, decorating, annotating etc.

We should open your sketchbook to pages full to brimming with examples of the artefacts,  and your responses in written and visual terms. If you don't like writing, respond in like with drawings/photographs. Have fun with it. How you present is vitally important - it communicates your creativity before your words do. 

Deadline
Thursday 14th of Dec.

There is a film on the Student Shared called 'Just Like Being There' that is about the current state of Screenprinted gig posters.  Feel free to watch and incorporate elements into your presentation.
