CONTEXT / AUDIENCE:
CONCEPT:
Design an alternative Christmas card to the given theme of either a Christmas film or Christmas song. The format is an A6 postcard which needs a 5mm boarder. The work will be printed by risograph, so the image must be supplied in all black and be designed to work in one colour.
The christmas postcards will be sold at upcomming LCA creative network events, in shops such a Colours may vary, online shop, and through the good old fashioned technique of approaching people. The audience will be people who apriciate christmas songs/ films. They may enjoy the print technique of risgraph and they may also enjoy giving to chairty.
Edward Scissor hands is this film I was allocated along with constraints of image based and colour green. As Edward himself is such an iconic image alone I wanted to use him in my postcard. I then looked at other iconic moments from the film such as when Edward cuts the bushes. I also looked at what could communicate well thorough the use of the colour green. Two moments
in the film that encompass the colour green are when Edward is trying to eat a pea with his ‘hands’ and the green hedges that he cuts. I decided to shape a bush into a snowman to represent Christmas and moments from the film. BRIEFTHREE
