Survey 6- The Colours Rationale

Art Nouveau Artifact

 For week 6 the topic we were assigned was a deep dive colour artifact. It was difficult to research this topic due to the fact that this was a slow time for colour. The artifact we had decided on were the posters. The focus for colour was the earth tones and the flat pastel like colours of the art nouveau movement. The secondary focus were the two influential artists of poster illustrations, Eugene Grasset and Alfons Mucha. 

A sufficient mark for this project would be around an 7or 8 for this artifact. Some things that I believe are well done would be the making of the posters distinguishable as an artifact rather than a spread, the idea, and the photograph. Some things that could have been improved on as said in the critiques are better positioning, better execution of the actual artifact, and larger letters for the written parts.

A way that I came up with to avoid the issue of distinguishing this from looking like a spread was to make everything feel tangible.
