Rueben Dangoor Creative Report Poster/Booklet

About

Printed onto A3 paper the poster is double-sided; the front-facing side consisting of an image of Reuben Dangoor's painting and the backside consisting of 10 tiles, each tile presenting one of my questions and then his answer.

I wanted to portray the clash fo time periods that Reuben presents in his paintings (i.e. henry the 8th wearing contemporary clothing; or his other work that paints grime music stars in the same 'landed gentry' settings), through the choice of typeface (contemporary); the rugged paper stock which is reminiscent of a scroll texture, and the use of split colors/imagery on the cover card, with the bold type (contrasting aesthetics); and with the ribbon to tie the aesthetic back to an older 'mailed letter' aesthetic.

Further Considerations:

If I was to develop this further, I would have Screen-printed the content onto a larger paper stock, as screen-printing is one fo Rueben's main formats for creating/replicating his work. Printing onto a larger stock would have made the content easier to read as well, but I was unable to digital print double-sided on any stock larger than A3, and I didn't leave myself enough time to set up a screen-print and print onto the larger stock.
