Glastonbury 2010: Guardian Guide

I know it is a little bit late but I made a few posters fro Glastonbury. These posters were actually made on my Art Foundation course at BCU. Our brief below was fairly open brief which instead of being a breath of fresh air, most found daunting.

Brief: "You have been commissioned to create the front cover publicity material for the Guardian Lounge and the Glastonbury Festival 2010. This will include designs for the front cover of the Guardian Guide, Flyers, Pass Badges and other items for the interior of the lounge."

Research: I began my research by looking at past issued of the Guardian Guide. I observed, analysed an critiqued the different covers looking at the design aesthetics of each piece, their purpose and effect on the audience. Many things had to be taken into consideration such as the size of the magazine (roughly A5), target audience, existing fonts and logo.

Ideas: I began to brainstorm possible solutions to the problem using a mind map. Focusing more on quantity of ideas and generating a large amount regardless of weather they could be executed kept the process free and open. Once I has several ideas down I began to look at the swiss deign movement, retro design, the work of James White and color psychology.
