Poster Design Research

When designing my poster I decided to research pre-existing pirate poster designs for inspiration on layout and colour. I found common colours used within this theme includes blues, reds, dark yellows and black. I decided that I wanted to create the poster on paper which looked old - like the sterotypical pirates would use for maps etc. I also decided that i wanted my main focus to be of The Discovery Ship situated in Dundee, which I would take my own photographs of as primary research.
