What Did I Learn From Doing All This?

My process for making the posters definitely got faster and faster over time. I would start each design by placing the focal point first (usually it was the moon or a planet) and then balancing all the other elements around that. Next would be choosing the colour of the sky which would then dictate the colours of the other elements. I learned to make my design choices faster and iterate off of the previous design’s elements which was the point of the project. Some of the designs toward the end of the project were put together in just ten minutes before I put them through my gradient map process. I really enjoyed that it left me with more time to focus on the colour palette which is my favourite part. I think documenting the process was just as interesting as making the designs, both for myself and the audience that was seeing the project online. I want to push this further with the next round of designs.
