Poster design 1
After I created the type collage effect for the ISTD brief yesterday. Today I have applied the same technique to create this Rise of the apes poster design for the YCN brief. The first uses a photographic chimpanzee image and the second uses an image from a vintage planet of the apes poster. I have tried to position the eyes with in the text to create a sinister tone similar to the movie.

Clipping Mask
I have been analyzing the selection of photographs and considered ways of creating letter forms from them.
This first idea investigates how the images will appear on an existing font, using a clipping mask.

Photographic research
Today I went out to document plant life and any letter forms I could see. The tree below was one of the best examples with an unusual 'u' shaped branch.
I was also keen to capture a range of colours shapes and textures that could contribute to the design.

This is a realistic way of manipulating plant forms to create letters. However I think it appears to manipulated and unnatural. Interesting idea though.
This is a nice idea, to cut the letters out of the leaf. I thought it might look more natural if the letters are cut with small holes and a jagged edge as though they had been eaten away by an insect perhaps.
