Micro Banners

Over the weekend, I had been working on creating my banners for my design conference, and mocking them up in-situ. I have decided on doing large scale banners on Te Ara Hihiko, as a visual cue that the visitors have arrived in the right place for the conference.

On one side of Te Ara Hihiko, the main feature is having a stained blue window, with a halftone image of a man cleaning the window. I am going to continue this diagonal line feature by having a part of the blue stripped off, so that the man has squeegeed it clean. I am also having a blue diagonal line follow the shape of the concrete by the stairs, with the word "micro", to indicate that the conference is there.

On the other side of Te Ara Hihiko, Taranaki St side, I am having a large scale banner, tinting/staing a large section of windows white, and having my halftone tools in black. This relates to the brochure cover, and acts as a way of pulling my transmedia suite together, and also creating interest to the visitors. On the wall near the entrance, I have a halftone person, this time working on type with a chainsaw, and he is cutting a section off the number 12, to make it perfect.

In terms of way finding, I am continuing this idea of the diagonal blue lines, and using this to help navigate the users to into the building and ultimately to The Pit for to listen to the speakers.

I have attached all of my banner mock-ups below:

I will take these banners to class on Tuesday to get some feedback from Lee and Donald. I am also going to take my fourth item as well, which I will attach to my next blog post.
