GRA1700C RC Elements and Principles of Graphic Design Programming Question

Module 06 Content

For this assignment, you’ll create a poster for a local concert. The genre is up to you: rock, metal, rap, swing, jazz, acapella, etc. The goal of this assignment is to create a unified and balanced design while combining a photo (raster imagery) with vector graphics. SetupFind a high-resolution image for the singer from Pixabay, Pexels, Unsplash, Flickr (set License to No known copyright restrictions), or search.creativecommons.org (and after your search, select CC0 and Public Domain Mark under the All licenses dropdown).The poster is going to be 11 inches tall by 17 inches wide. So, you’ll want to use images that are at least 3,000 x 3,000 pixels. The image you use doesn’t necessarily need to fill the entire poster, but it should be quite large since it will be the main image in the design.Download the photo and remove its background in Photoshop using masking. No matter which kind of mask you use, it must be clean and sharp. DesignOnce you’ve removed the background from the fruit/vegetable photo, place it in an Illustrator document measuring 11 inches wide by 17 inches tall. Set the color mode to CMYK. In addition to the photo of the singer, you must include the following: 

The (fictitious) artist or band’s name.

The venue.

The date and time of the concert.

A website where people can order tickets. If the concert is free, then a website where people can learn more about the artist/band/concert.

You must use the typeface(s) Corbel and/or Constantia. You’re welcome to use various font-styles such as bold, italic, and bold italic. You must establish a clear and effective hierarchy with the type.

Add vector graphics (shapes and lines) to your design to create a unified and balanced design. Your graphics might all be in the background and/or they might overlap the photo.

Have a consistent use of colors throughout the design. Again, the goal is a unified and balanced design.

As the designer, it will be up to you on how you arrange the various elements. You have a lot of freedom with this design, as long as you (a) include all of the required elements and (b) create a unified and balanced design.
