A poster I created for 'the Ian Anderson brief' the idea was to come up with a new name for Ian Anderson and design a poster to inform people of this change.
For this design I took inspiration from lyrics of the queens of the stone age song 'turning on the screw' more specifically the lines "the world is round, my square don't fit at all". I interpret these lyrics as being so different from the rest of the world that you 'don't fit' and need to make your own way, which I feel Ian Anderson has done. Therefore the name I choose for him was 'The Square'. I took Visual cues from the children’s shape toys (the square fits in the square hole, the circle fits in the circular hole). I played around with a few colours but in the end I stripped it down to black and white leaving only the edge of the shapes visible. This created an interesting visual and was a little harder to understand requiring more thought by the viewer.
