Handmade stenciled type VS Photoshop.

The range of images I have captured throughout making this idea have given me a lot of potential to play around with the layout and font of "Design Museum" and the date. After playing around with a range of photos, these are the ones in which I feel gives a good idea on what looks bad and what looks good.

With this one here, the simplicity and text of the layout while using a grainy somewhat candid shot of this photograph gives a weird mix of the composition and I don't this this works particularly well. Also, it eliminates the potential colour readability of this poster destroying the whole purpose.

With this one the way the main image is angled gives it that contemporary feel compared to viewing a lot of things stright on in which I feel is a nice effect. I also feel the use of the digital text subtly placed in the corner is not too overpowering to the user when reading the poster straight off.

Out of all the potential poster layouts, this one is my favourite. Theres a good balanc of natural lighting on the shot which makes it a very crisp and easy read. While i feel the use of th stencil font in the corner works harmoniously well with the whole layout.

After looking at all these layouts and experiementing and exploring the different aspects of stencil cutting as well as mixing text together with Photoshop, there is a clear relationship between thewo which could work really well. However, I feel I can create a poster made entirely out of paper without no digital skills at all. I want to show how the skills workshops has improved my understanding for paper and express this in a really unique tone.
