Triptych - Finals, Rationale & Evaluation
Concept, Final & Rationale
The A1 poster is an answer too the weekly call for a trio of posters posted within Leeds College of Art, the main concept idea is to create a modern interpretation of the apocalypse tapestry and past doomsday predictions, digital repurposing visual elements from the tapestry into vector iconography to work with my methodology of transitioning print & digital, these icons are supported by modern interpretation of chaos through the visualization of War.
Three process's where used to work along the trio idea and also showing the transition between hand rendered to digital poster process's with the use of screen print metallic UV print finish to show the influence of technology on traditional print process's.
The digital print acts as the base layer, digitally repurposing the traditional apocalypse tapestry while the Posca references hand rendered posters and erases the past doomsday predictions.
The vector iconography repurposes the 7 headed dragon from the apocalypse tapestry while the bullet and Syrian map represent a modern interpretation of chaos.
The centre justified type layout and right aligned dates reference the limitations of Gutenberg printing, the original distribution of the bible which adds context too the whole religious theme.

Creating a digital capturing of the final print, the idea been that .gif is an internet file format, and the internet is a main cause of the spreading of farfetched doomsday theories. A hint towards my COP investigations on how the internet is the current optimum mass communication distribution, a transition from the main type layout used here that references the original mass distribution method the Gutenberg's limitation.
Evaluation
This was a very successful project in terms of delivering another concept with meaning, something I thought I would struggle with is representing a design resolution for something religious but due to the links with the Gutenberg bible I was able to apply my COP methodology allowing me to strengthen the idea of a digital and modern interpretation of the apocalypse tapestry.
I enjoyed using 3 process's, the trio of process's had a relevant reason working from the idea of triptych and the set of 3 posters been displayed, the process's also referenced the transition of poster production and also touched on subjects within my COP investigations from hand rendered type too digital type.
The simple alterations of alignments and positioning of type and image strengthened concepts, like the angling of the photographs creating a simple contrast so they worked alongside the icons that repurposed them rather than worked with them. While the deconstructed layout of the calendars, image, icons and UV deconstructed apocalypse layer feel locked in together with the structured layout of the base layer with the repeated APOCALYPTIC which again resonates with the amount of doomsday theories that have been predicted.
If I was too do this project again I would try make a stronger series of icons and digital repurposing of chaos, theres lots more issues out there that can resonate with the idea of a modern interpretation of apocalypse. The colors worked well but I feel the metallic UV finish could have been combined with another print finish maybe a slight touch of neon to add a visual cue point that further references the digital transition and shows the potential of traditional screen printing.
