3 Poster Brief - Influence.

Wim Crouwel.

For this brief I'm interested in the structured graphical style of contemporary graphic design and info graphics. These calendars are both valid to my proverb and provide some good compositional concepts. I like the simplicity and delicacy of the line when positioned with the denser numbering.


Again this example by Tim Wan is not only bold but manages to be delicate. It's structure doesn't take away from it's creativity and that's a balance I'd like to try and achieve on this brief.

Another interesting example focusing on time.

Proverb Task Research.

I think what interest's me most with this idea of tomorrow is another day is how there is always another tomorrow. It's a term which could apply to anyone in the world at any period of the human race. This concept of tomorrow being this infinite man made premise which will only end when we as humans end.

Ouroboros - Ancient symbol depicting serpent biting it's own tail thus creating a cycle.
The Infinite Loop - No beginning. No end.
The cycle will always continue just as however long you live there will always be another tomorrow and another chance to do things differently. Even considering the daily loops we are bound to such as food, water and sleep.



Tomorrow is Another Day ...

I have been given the task to create 3 posters based on the proverb 'Tomorrow is Another Day'.

ORIGIN
First put as 'Tomorrow is a New Day' in 1520.
Last line of American Civil War Novel 'Gone With The Wind'. 
"After All, Tomorrow Is Another Day".

Whatever hasn't been accomplished today is given another chance tomorrow.

It comes with connotations of time, chance and hope. It could also be seen in a negative light in forms of regret as a reaction to something going wrong. Even seen with this negative cast however it still can't help to be seen as a shimmer of hope and contemplation. Similar to other sayings such as when you fall off the horse you get back on or when you get knocked down you pick yourself back up again. It suggests second chances in the face of defeat.
