THE HULL COLLEGE'S RILEY CENTRE HELD AN ANNUAL FASHION SHOW AT THE END OF EVERY COLLEGE YEAR. THEY RECRUIT THE GRAPHIC DESIGN COURSE TO DESIGN THE POSTER FOR THE EVENT. A SELECT NUMBER OF TUTORS AND THE FASHION SHOW STUDENTS THEN VOTED FOR A WINNER THAT WAS TO BE PRINTED AND DISTRIBUTED THROUGHOUT THE COLLEGES AND DESIGN FIRMS IN HULL TO ADVERTISE THE SHOW. FOR THE 14TH ANNUAL FASHION SHOW OR 'SHOW OFF 14' AS IT WAS KNOWN THEY WANTED US TO DESIGN A POSTER AND SET OF FOUR TICKETS IN THE STYLE OF A NAUTICAL THEME. THIS THEME WAS CARRIED THROUGH FROM THE THEME OF WHAT THE FASHION STUDENTS HAD TO DESIGN CLOTHING IN THE STYLE OF. WE HAD A LOOK ROUND THE FASHION CLASS AND TOOK INSPIRATION FROM THE WORK THEY HAD PRODUCED. I THEN TOOK THIS INSPIRATION ALONG WITH OTHER RESEARCH AND SET OUT TO DESIGN A POSTER THAT WOULD BE FUN. I TOOK INSPIRATION FROM AN OLD CARTOON AND MIXED A CUT OUT STYLE USING SOME OF THE DESIGN IDEAS I HAD ALREADY COME UP WITH TO CREATE THE POSTER AND TICKETS. THE TICKETS WERE IN 4 DIFFERENT COLOURS AND HAD A RUNNING STORY TO HELP PEOPLE BUY MORE THAN ONE AND COME TO ALL THE SHOWS JUST TO GET THE TICKETS. THE COLOURS HELPED SEPERATE WHICH SHOW AND DATE YOUR TICKET WAS FOR. THE COLOUR OF THE TICKET CO-ORDINATED ON THE POSTER TO THE DATE WHICH WAS ALSO ON THE TICKET CHECK EM OUT / POSTER LEFT 1 / TICKETS BELOW 2 / [82] /
