Poster Essay (Final Fantasy)

I chose to do my presentation on Final Fantasy because it is the series that first inspired my love of gaming and introduced me to my favorite genre of games therein, RPGs. Since its debut to the gaming world in 1987, the series has been ticking off new entries to the series like hands on a clock. I chose all of my design elements out of my love for symmetry and repetition while also trying to add subtle differences to each side. I made the face of the clock glow to hopefully try and draw the viewers eye there first, though without a small border between the black text and the dark blue glow it looks a little blurry. I tried to use the pendulum to bring the viewers eye to the text inside the interior of the clock, but I could have done a better job drawing them first to the text on the left rather than the text on the right. I broke up the blocks of text with the signature crystals that the FF series is so heavily focused on. Each represents one of the games that came out during that time. I wish I could have added a few more elements to the bare parts of the clock to help trim off a bit of the excessive negative space, but I'm overall very happy with the way the whole thing turned out.

These three were for the history poster.

These were for the stamp design.
