Game On: Stress Off.

I used EyeJack Creator 2022 app to create my poster for this project.

The Idea.

I explored various subjects, focusing on education, meditation or stress relief. While exploring different ideas, I’ve watched like a million of gifs. That is how the old arcade Mario concept emerged. The dynamic and engaging nature of the well-known gameplay + fun idea implemented by internet user ritesh001, resonated with my vision, leading me to integrate the iconic character into my project.

Issues

I enjoyed the app. It is user-friendly and intuitive.
However, I encountered a sound issue during my first try with a different image and idea. The sound should be the same duration as your gif. So it was tricky to do a longer gif to save some meaning of a song I’ve chosen.

Pam, pam, pam.

Madeon is a French DJ and music producer based in LA. His concert was a part of Capitol Hill Block Party — an annual 3-day festival celebrating music. My assignment was to create a poster for his performance.

To prepare I researched existing visual media: album covers, social media, Madeon’s and Capitol Hill Block Party’s official websites. 

For Madeon I noticed one common element – diffused bright light colored with calm pastel pallete. As for the Festival I found bright well-recognizable symbols: logo, quirky doodles and solid colors. 

While doing my research I stumbled upon Madeon’s photos and I decided to use it as a base for my poster. That was a lucky find!

My moodboard:

In my solution I combined all those elements. The based photo provided the light and mood, I tried to match it with the title blending with the light. I put Festival information into the footer and topped it with cool fish borrowed from the Festival website.
