Instruction
Prototype ideas for the three dimensional aspect of the project.
Purpose
Explore what can make the poster three dimensional and how it impacts the composition. Use more than two dimensional space.
My Interpretation
I already knew for my main aspect of the 3D element I wanted to cut out a hole in the dead center of the poster. However, due to needing more of this aspect, I explored various textures of mod podge and similar materials on paper and foam board. I tried drying the finish upside-down to create a dried dripping look, but the mod podge was too thick to properly create the texture. Normally brushing the mod podge on didn’t add enough texture, and putting too much made the ink below it run. I tried rubbing loose cotton balls onto the wet mod podge to get a new and interesting texture, but this ruined the foamboard and paper, ripping up and discoloring the material. For the final design, I decided to brush a medium/large amount of the finish on the parts I aim to highlight and pat the still-wet mod podge with a brush to create a very small bumpy texture.
