PINOCCHIO





This is very last minute but i'm still hammering out the details on my posters and i need some feed back on them still. The one on the left is what i started and i evolved it to the one on the right, the point is to have the nose come down but have the viewer also recognize that it's a tree. I've been told adding some leaves to the type and to the bottom of where the green falls will help to make it look like a better tree. is there any other things i should do to make the character look like a tree and still have it as a person with a long nose?

Hey, a suggestion: maybe you should take your original and lower the nose to right below the eyes. That way itll look like the trunk to a tree and a nose. The 2nd one looks more like a person, and from what you've said it seems like you don't want the viewer to see it immediately. Good luck!

I like the idea. The first thing I notice on your design is the big green area and the 2 circles. I don't even pay attention to the tree. Will you be adding color to the tree? Also I find the "PINOCCHIO" to be very distracting and it takes away from the design. Maybe you can place it elsewhere or since I know you are a good artist, maybe you can mix it in as branches?

Hey, it's Rebecca. I like both a lot. I like the nose in the second one and how it hints to a "human" element. Although, maybe growing in general hints to it. I really liked the decorative elements around the "nose" you had originally in class.

Aaron, I have mixed impressions about your development. In class, it was very simple and elegant at the same time. The only thing that was needed was some clarification for the top image.

In your new version, I don't like the position of your type—too close to the edges of the page, irregularly letterspaced.


I do like the simplicity of the image— trying to minimize anything irrelevant. But you almost lost your story (once upon a time....

For me, the right nose looks like a sword and on the left poster, like an upside down "hairy" T growing from the eyebrows.

Why is the green figure cut? Looks like an Ice-cream on a stick. The branch of a tree is enough to say—"wood". It doesn't have to be an image of the tree trunk.

You see, I have more questions about these posters.
