Let’s have a game of riddles…

Gollum

An illustration of the character Gollum, from The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and the new Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. I am a huge fan of The Lord of the Rings and have read the books. I love The Hobbit too, so I felt like doing a random illustration today.

Constructivism

My Deftones gig poster using the Constructivism style

This week in Graphic Design class, we learnt about the art movement, Constructivism. Many people consider it to be directly linked to Russian propaganda posters, but this was not Alexander Rodchenko’s intention when he was first creating his artwork in this style. Using constructivism in propaganda posters was actually used after, mainly because the geometric shapes, use of red, white or cream, and black, suited the messages they wanted to send out so well.

Our task for the lesson was to create an event poster in the constructivism style, and use the same colours. This was mine, and I chose to do a gig poster for one of my favourite bands, Deftones. This is not a real date for a gig, I entirely made this up for my task, and I used Adobe Illustrator.
