Last weekend I had the pleasure of being able to shoot the Richmond Fair all weekend for FREE... for an assignment, little did I know that we were going to have to create a poster for the fair using one of the images we shot! Snap, Jason (no pun intended).
The idea behind not telling us that we were going to have to make a poster was to show us that when you know exactly what is asked of you before you go out and shoot, it makes your life alot easier and more stress free. Point taken, If our group knew that we had to make a poster from one of the shots we took... the day would have been... well... productive. Not saying that we didn't get a lot of great shots... we did for sure. But most of the time was spent making fun of each other, carnies and how boring fairs are at 1 o'clock on a Friday afternoon.
I thought this would be good for a poster because the snake would really pop off the page and catch the viewers eye. I also like how its not the average animal or sight you would see at a fair, and I chose big in your face letters that instantly tell you what the poster is about. kinda feels like a teaser, makes you want to see more and look into what it's about. Honestly though, the snakes were very impressive, much better then Lamas and goats.
I whipped this one together too cause I wanted to have variation, and I also wanted to give one a kind of retro feel to it. I like that it is just so damn simple, composition wise this is so simple. But it gets the point across... come to the fair and buy high priced greasy food from criminals, or at least that's how I see it.
A special thanks to everyone at The Richmond Fair for letting us shoot all weekend, it was a great time, with great friends.
