The Perfect Setting!

So here it is my final poster! For my first attempt at creating a poster and working on photoshop I am really happy with the result. (I did make some minor adjustments after this like changing font size but this is basically what it looks like)

Poster Time!

So now after writing on lots of knives and forks I have a general idea of what I want on my poster, I tried to figure out a way to display these knives and forks so I started to photograph them in lots of different ways to hopefully come up with the perfect solution. After numerous attempts of arranging and rearranging I think I finally came up with a way tho photograph them perfectly.

Since knives and forks are associated with mealtimes and food, I came up with the idea of arranging the knives and forks so they resemble a table setting (plate with knife and fork)

This is how it turned out. This is the starting point for my poster and still needs to be worked on. I put it on a solid black background so it could easily be changed in Photoshop if needed.

So I had very little experience with working with photoshop before this project but I learned so much about it during this project. I opened this photo on Photoshop and got to work on it.

I isolated the knives and forks and put them on a different colour background so they would stand out and become the focus of my poster.

Food Food Food!

I did a sketch on a page, I created the shape of a plastic knife and fork by using lots of words related to food and eating. I liked the idea of incorporating words into my design so I tried to work with this some more.

Instead of having the words on paper I decided to actually write some on real plastic knives and forks

I thought the combination of text and the plastic knife and fork looked good so I began to write on more. The project kind of turned into me documenting every food I ate throughout the weeks. Almost like a food diary but on knives and forks instead.

Here are some photos of the plastic knives and forks I wrote on.
