Wiz Kahlifa Poster

• What were you trying to accomplish with your design decisions?

In this particular project, I was trying to convey a new modern rap artist (Wiz Kahlifa) and make a modern concert poster just like the artist.
• What challenges and problems did you encountered and how did you solved them?

Quark was definitely and interesting program that was extremely difficult for me to get used to after using photoshop. Everything seemed much more complex than it should be. For example, the side column stating the time and date of the concert couldn't go any further to the right for reasons I'm not so sure of. Also, I was trying to make the a red outline with black on the inside, however using the outline feature only makes it white on the inside of the font. I read the quark book to see if I could change this but it didn't have anything related to it.
• What was new for you?

The whole system of quark
• What did you enjoy most about the project?

I really enjoyed cropping the picture of the artist. I think it looks very unique with the white background and I found the perfect pose after looking for hours. I really enjoy that he is looking up at his name, I think it gives the poster a very unique feel.
• What are you most proud of in relation to this assignment?

I'm proud of mainly the picture, and the part of the poster with the name (Wiz Kahlifa) and the background image I made with the line tool in quark. I think I used a part of Quark with the line tool in a way that most people wouldn't think of.
• What could you have done had you had more time?

If I had more time I would create a boarder around the whole poster, because it is white and needs something to identify it from the background of blogger. Also, I would try and fill in the empty white space in the bottom left side of the poster.
