why i did what i did.

as far as aesthetics go, i think i balanced this image well. i played around with color, trying to draw the eye further down (purple van to purple flowers). i also tried to tie in the color of the sky with the peace sign on the side of the van. i originally wanted to place my information in "bumper stickers" on the back of a bus or van. seeing as though i didnt have these images at my disposal, i worked with what i had. i think the angle of the bus worked well to draw the eye into the image. perhaps i could have played around on placement as far as the information text went, but pending circumstances i made a mad dash the finish line. i spent DAYS coming up with this design, and i hope everyone is pleased. as an avid fan of the woodstock era, i found this project to be very enjoyable. the style, i would have to state as being a post modern style.. it doesnt necessarily fit any other description, but with the font and content of the poster fit the time period.
the end.

TA DA!

it all comes together.

these are all photos that i had on my computer.(besides the grateful dead tie-dye. i took that FOR this project.)  i thought it was really cool i already had the sign for bethel. next post is what these all collaborated into... drumroll pleeeease...
