Making my poster was fairly straightforward as I knew what I wanted to do straight away. I had drawn a very rough sketch of how I wanted my poster to look so it was fairly easy to make.

I used the same background for the poster as I had done for the website, along with the same font (Science Fair). I then placed on the planet, I chose Earth as it is the planet most common to everyone, and drew a guide circle around it so that I could easily draw the bending grid around it. Doing the grid this way was fairly easy and I thought it looked most effective, although was incredibly annoying layering and arranging the different lines and whether they needed to be in front or behind of the planet. I decided to try this method out on my website at a later date.

In my initial sketch I had used the white triangle, which I had planned to use on my website and app to signify more information, but I felt that there wasn’t enough space for it and it wasn’t really necessary on the poster. I felt that it wasn’t necessary as both the website and app will be interactive, and on both of these the user will hover over, or click, on it and the information will appear below. On a poster this is not possible so I felt that the triangle would be unnecessary and would clutter the poster which I did not want. I wanted it to be fairly minimalistic, like the first bent grid inspiration image I found on my first ideas post.

Once I had positioned the planet and the grid I felt that there wasn’t enough space for the information about the space-time warp at the top so I placed it at the bottom.

I think that this fills the space better and doesn’t leave any huge empty spaces but also positions everything well.
