Making my poster - Print Project

screen print

I took a screen shot from my video, and changed it onto black and white and then I bitmap the image.







My image was the exposed onto a silk screen, i them printed it in Red and cadbury Purple.

lino cut
These are the lino cuts i made to create the text to go on my Poster.









these are the prints that were created from the lino cuts i made.  

I think the lino cut i did of the Cadbury's logo was my most successful lino cut, as it clearly resembles the Cadbury logo. It also demonstrates a lot of skill and control with my Lino cutting. 

I initially tried two versions of the Cadbury logo, one with the bottom half of the lino cut removed and one without. I also altered the text type on the one lino cut to a more authentic version of the Cadbury logo, traced from a box of Cadbury chocolate for authenticity. 

I then decided I would try printing the lino cuts in yellow as well as the classical Cadbury purple colour, but I didn't like the qualities it gave too the prints



I also printed a slogan type lino cut for my poster "A true chocolate adventure" I tried printing this lino cut in a variety of colours (purple/yellow) I also printer one version of the lino cut in a slightly lighter press of in which gave my lino cut print an old fashioned an look.


I also printed signs saying "boarding at" and "platform 1 1/2" which would insinuate to the idea of a train station subtly on my poster. I tried this lino print in purple and yellow too.

the "Platform 1 1/2" idea comes from the Cadbury slogan of  a Cup and a half of milk in each standard bar of Dairy Milk.


Collage

I created a collage out of Cadbury wrappers form well known cadbury chocolates, as the background for my poster. I chose to use "CurlyWurly" wrappers, "Dairy Milk" wrappers, "Fudge" wrappers and "Fredo" wrappers. i chose these wrappers because they all have very similar colours in there wrappers an i thought they would create a good background.



QR Code

this QR code is linked to my advertisement video (chocolate train station fly trough video) which is posted on Vimeo.


trhe QR Code is made up of 29 squares in with and 29 blocks in length

!
 this QR Code square is made up of 404 white squares and 437 black squares.

I am going to use white chocolate for the white squares and milk chocolate for the black squares.


i bought a silicone mould to make mini chocolate bars, with little squares. 



i then melted milk chocolate and poured it into the silicone mould and let it set.


creating these mini chocolate bars. 


i then repeated this process to make mini white chocolate bars.



 i then broke the mini chocolate bars up unto single squares to re-create the QR code in Chocolate.


this is my final QR Code created in Chocolate.


Unfortunately for one reason or another i wont scan with a QR Scanner.
it may not work because the QR Code i made out of chocolate is no longer square, it is also not made in the typical black and white colouration.
