(. 1 For my final, I decided to keep perspective as my Big Idea. This time however, I decided to explore the theme of music through the lens of perspective. As a graphic designer, I enjoy making posters. Therefore I decided to make two posters advertising The Beatles where each poster would represent one perspective of the band. The first perspective is from a teenage girl’s perspective of The Beatles when they were first introduced to the United States and “Beatlemania” ensued. I chose to represent this perspective by choosing an early picture of The Beatles when they were clean-cut. I also used bright colors with a collage-like feel to make it look like a teenage girl made the poster herself.
For the second poster, I chose to represent The Beatles more like “rock gods” and would appeal to an older crowd. I did this by choosing a picture of them when they are older with more facial hair and look more like hippies. I also used darker, more serious colors.
(.2 My Big Idea is Perspective and my theme is the Beatles. My influences were music by The Beatles, the movie Across the Universe, as well as other Beatles posters.

(.3 The photoshop technique I would like to incorporate into my final is the Sketch/Painting effect in which a image can be made to look like it was drawn/painted ( better than simply using a filter).
