For the last five weeks, we have been working on creating a poster and a web banner for KidZone in our Graphics and Color class (Alex Hass). This is one of our seven classes.
KidZone Art Museum is a virtual art museum and gallery showcasing children’s art from around the world. The museum offers historic and contemporary art galleries online. It is a place for children to get inspired, learn, and share their creativity. Doesn’t it sound like a place that should exist? Well, for now, it is a fictional client…
Thinking about concept and corporate identity design has been very insightful. The concept I developed for Kidzone is:
Children are filled with Art at KidZone
This is the poster I created for the museum, using both Photoshop and Illustrator:
In the poster, you can see a big M. The M is a creature. The M also works as two children connecting! Can you see it? The M is filled with children’s art as children are filled with ART at KidZone.
These are the three frames for the web banner:
In the banner, I’m keeping the secondary colors for the paintings that “are filling” the children and primary colors for the font. Regarding animation, the children float in delight and move strategically as the words appear.
These are my first steps in New Media Design. My next assignment is to create a CD sleeve / package for a KidZone Art Museum Teacher’s Resource… Let me know your thoughts… As usual, your precious feedback will be incorporated.
So cute Claudia. Looks like something that kids would be attracted to and parents would be happy to have them exposed to.
I particularly like the friendly elephant in the poster and the textured look.
Congrats!
Thanks Sanchez! What elephant are you talking about?
COOOOL Claudia! I love it – it’s made so much progress over the weeks. I like the girl silhouette on the poster.
Thank you Anja! I’m working on the CD sleeve today. Will be posting them next week.
BTW: We are going to the movies this Friday after work… .
The web banners and poster are completely perfect! Excellent work!
On another topic, I viewed the film clips on your website. The one entitled “Dancing Waters” is beautiful. It reminds me of a video of a song by Lhasa de Sela, Con Toda Palabra:

Both are beautiful. Lhasa de Sela died of breast cancer a few months ago. A very sad thing, considering her voice and musical style are so unique and beautiful.
