Poster - For a friend

I have been asked by a friend to design them a large poster for their new house.
They have asked for a mixture of imagery including a rainbow, snowdrops, a peacock and an assortment  of different feathers.
She also wants type - specifically this quote.

"If i find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that i was made for another world"


I am seeing this as a chance to explore different ways of putting a poster together. Different illustration styles and methods of making a piece of art into a method of communicating a message.
The principle thing that I need to keep in mind with this is that it is, essentially, a brief to produce something that will look aesthetically pleasing, rather than trying to promote, sell or educate its audience. It is very much an audience and subject led brief. The audience being Natalie and the subject being the assets of the poster that she has asked for.
I am going to do this in my own style, mixing media and trying out both illustrated and computer-rendered type to get the best result.

My first brief of the summer. Feels very good to be back doing work. I feel a lot more focussed this year, I think looking at the 3rd year FMP blogs really pushed me into wanting to produce a lot this summer to get myself ready for the work-load of level 06.
