OUGD602: Goat Collective Fresher's Poster Pack

Our first project to kick start our last year here at LCA, and the start of our first official year as Goat Collective, was our poster packs for the fresher's of LCA. Thinking back to our own move to university two years ago, the idea that most freshers pin up posters and flyers from events just to eliminate the blank walls of their uni halls seemed like a good chance to give them something more suitable, with the purpose of making the walls more bearable.

We came up with the idea to give them a selection of posters, made up of all members of Goat Collective's artwork. As there are 8 of us in the collective, we each produced 5 pieces of artwork with no particular theme, meaning that with one of each poster, there would be 40 posters in each pack.

Our intention with this was to have a stall at the fresher's fair to give these posters out. I created a hand painted sign on a piece of wood we sourced in the streets of Hyde Park near our house. The wood was perfect for a sign, and I used type similar to that I designed for the GC logo so that the two relate.

My designs for the posters shown below; (originals and cleaned up for print)

All will be black and white photocopies, and I chose photography, painting, lettering, type and pencil sketches to showcase the kind of design and artwork I want to create.

Rees also put together a film showing the whole process of the project which is a great way to show people what we're all about and how we work as a group of friends doing what we love. We showed this at our stall on a mac, along with small A6 prints of the posters free to take, and a triangle of the poster packs complete with 40 A4 photocopies and one A3 screen print.
