This poster right here was something I made just right after I made the Fall In Love With Disco! poster and I still had that headspace where I wanted to create, and I didn't want to work on the same piece for like 6 hours. And so, instead of doing that, I made a different piece, using images exclusively from interest. it was a good idea t first, but now I don't like the final product.
What do I think about this piece? Well, when I was making it, I was quite happy with what I made. It is a chaotic piece that's supposed to grab your eye, but when I look at it now, it's a bit unsightly in a bad way, like it's too gross, even though the goal of it was to be attention-grabbing.
Was it successful? No, no not really. It's just bad to look at, perhaps unsightly, all because I wanted to make a poster that walked the line of complex and gross, but obviously, I went a little bit far. So no, sadly it didn't.
What would I do differently? This part is very easy. I would first use a different font. I wanted one that was quite blocky, but now looking at this I feel like it would suit one that's quite tall and thin, since you can see here I wanted one that was tall, but still blocky. I would also only use one texture for the background since you can see there is a bunch of colourful lines in it, this was from a second background I overlayed, but now looking at it, I don't think it looks good. I also don't like the clipping mask layer I put over the text, to me it's gross, I would change it so I wouldn't have it at all. I would also make the text glow a bit brighter green since when you look at it right now, at least to me, it looks a little weird.
How could I develop this moving forward? I think I honestly wouldn't, besides perhaps adding some white text in the bottom right, maybe talking more about dancing and disco. But the reason why I wouldn't develop it is simply that I don't like the idea now that I look back on it.
Now, would I revisit this? I think I would. I know I literally just said that I don't like the idea, but I feel like my opinion of the idea would change over time, and so I might have the urge to work on this again in the future.
