Poster task 2 - Scamping others / scamping your own.

Objective

To further understand the part white space plays in a graphic artefact.

To become aware of how designers balance elements on a page.

Task

Gather a range of posters. This can be via Pinterest or your own examples for books.

Draw them in quickly your sketchbook.

Look at your example and loosely sketch the page. Pay close attention to the light and dark tones—allow your brain to 'threshold' the greys into either light or dark tones. See the example above.
The images in the presentation are of a variety of artefacts - not merely posters, but you get the gist.
