Border Final Design (sketchbook)



Again drawing influence from the extensive research I've undertaken I was able to again draw my own Art Deco border. Some other influences include the Great Gatsby film, and the associated design and branding with that.


What inspired me most from these designs were definitely from the sharp, angular lines shooting across the canvas from all directions. However, the geometry is still very precise and disciplined and it can be seen how delicately the features were placed. The custom text is the main focal point of the image and stands out because of its rounded edges and silver texture, distinguishing it from the bronze-gold present in the rest of the work. The diagonal lines down from the logo help draw the eye down to the release date text and are an example of how good graphic design can control a viewers appreciation of the image.


The same style of intricate design is present in this poster too, although in a slightly muted way. The borders frame the characters beautifully and although in their own right they hold a place in the stars they don't steal any thunder from the cast. Again it can be seen that the diagonal lines present to draw the eye in certain places are there, this time directing you to the title of the film and the young woman resting on the credits.
