Poster Information:

Save the Embassy
90's Night,18th June.

 Poster Critique 
For homework, we created some posters of our concepts. We have decided to use a 90s themed night to attract locals to the Embassy theatre. This is to increase involvement with the theatre and raise awareness of the shrinking audience. From the feedback we received, we need to specify why they should come to the event and why it is happening. We should also say what the next step is like visiting the website. 









In class, we started to write down a list of things related to the saving our arts venue topic. We were then asked to choose one thing from each topic and combine them into some thumbnail sketches. I chose entertainment, students, costume, energy, and vectors. 



Wellington arts culture, friends, mirrors, interactive


Enjoyment, locals, shape, romance


More Concepts


We had a critique of our concepts. We need to use nostalgia as a tool to entice people to come along and have a good time as well help the Embassy gain audience popularity. We could also use a headline that is a phrase from the 90s and the tagline could relate to the Embassy. The concepts using the phones and Tamagotchi worked the best because they do not limit what the event will be like. If we use just one character people will expect that character to be the main theme of the night.

We had some really useful feedback during interim today from our peers. The next step for us is to consider how to correlate the colours more effectively throughout our designs. We tried going all black with grey tones and pink outlines to keep our black and neon pink design. It didn't stand out that well compared to our original concept and we decided to stick with it and change our colour scheme of the other elements to match it. Some iterations of the website using the new colour scheme: Some further developments of the home page and voting page: We have changed some of the styles for the website so that it is more cohesive with the design aesthetic of the poster:
