ENO project
This project in third year of my undergrad degree in Digital Media Design, to create a poster for ENOs production of Joan of Arc.
Exporting for digital and print in different size formats for brochures, bus shelter ads (and with backlight), Instagram post, and web adverts. I needed to make sure I had the correct resolution, dimensions and file format.
Following a guideline of how past ENO posters look and create material ready to export for print and digital. Images above are a mockup of what they would look like in the real world.
For this project I want to make my poster have Joan of arcs symbol of the crown on the sword with 2 fleur de lis either side. For effect I want to put Joan on the sword on fire to resemble that she got burnt on the stake.
- For the web ad it is 500 x 1080pxl
- The ENO logo should be between 30-37mm (height) which is roughly 125px
- The bus shelter poster is 1219x1778mm
Initial design but later removed the French flag colour off the crown as that wasn't the flag in the 1400s, it was actually 3 yellow fleur de lis on a blue background.
So I made the crown metallic to seem more rustic and medieval.
I made my Joan bigger and edited my fleur de lis so that they were bolder. I wanted to turn the top part of the fleur de lis into the pope hat as the top half has the shape, but when I felt this looked a bit out of place and didn't look right.
Then I made a spotlight in photoshop using transform>perspective and added a gaussian blur and turned down opacity.
I exported my brochure poster as a png to put it into photoshop to put it as an example for my PowerPoint and then exported the illustrator project as a pdf to meet the requirements for the submission
Notes:
- DPI refers to the number of printed dots contained within one inch of an image printed by a printer.
- PPI refers to the number of pixels contained within one inch of an image displayed on a computer monitor.
The difference between TIFF and JPEG is that files that are in TIFF format are usually larger in size and allow its users to compress a file. JPEG, on the other hand, is a lossy compression format which allows you to have greater space storage.
