Elements: economical colour application

Smokin Raps, '86.

I saw this in 'The book of Hip Hop cover art' and 

had a slight brainwave on the colour scheme 

application to the event.  

Because we are riso printing, we want to use as few

colours as possible to keep costs down.

Using this type of imagery to inform our economical

decisions within the design process we will create

an identity that will truthfully reflect the visual 

culture of hHip Hop, whilst successfully answering our

costing issues.

I've had a few ideas to do with application already:

-  Promo

4D design incorporating colour, slowly revealing 

context.  To exploit this we would need to do our

research into busy streets where the majority of 

our audience would frequent.

By printing more copies of single colour, and 

significantly less of the four colour posters we

would save a chunk of money from our budget.

-  Wayfinding:

The print process is the main area driving the 

design decisions.
