Studio Brief 01: Researching & screen printing Bob Marley

Researching & Screen Printing 

From researching into various subjects I decided to create posters about Bob Marley, I want to create vibrant posters that make people feel good about them selfs around Leeds City Center, to make a social impact and Due to Bob Marley being a massive social influence with his political songs albums and speeches of positivity I feel that this would be a positive outcome. 

To begin with I started to look at Political and social posters which have already been created relating to Bob Marley. What was interesting to find is that many posters that were found used the usual Jamaican colours red, green, blue and yellow. The posters which were found had bold bright text on them which stand out, much like how bob Marley did. To create my traditional prints I will use bold and heavy type and imagery to link it with similar posters. 






These are some Experiments which I carried out using Bobs outline and typography which i created to create a relaxed feel due to Bob being a relaxed person as he also gets a high a lot. However what i found when trying to experiment with colours is that the black overpowered the light type so therefore did not work and you couldn't really see it. For this reason I then started some new experiments: 




From this I Then began to experiment with finals changing colours and text to make them more relevant to the subject matter. I decided to change the colour as previous experimentation I found that dark colour on the background and light colours on the top didn't work and were not legible. I also gained this knowledge from feedback given. 




Overall I am happy with this outcome, if i were to do this again I would take more time creating more experiments, i did do more experiments but dropped water all over them so I do not have them to post on here, however from these experiments they have given me a far more suitable outcome. The posters look happy and joyful and there for connect socially with public and also give people confidents and tell them what to do, as bob was known for his political power which rose many more people to have confidents, these posters remind people to be confident and stand up for what they believe in, and make them happy.
