Joan Miro
Joan create painting and sculptures automatically instead of thinking and planning he just does something, it isn't perfect its just like a squiggle made into something. Automatic painting and sculpting is like a direct link from your subconscious to your hand to paper.

Woman bird by moonlight 1949

Personnages Devant la mer: Figures by the sea 1934

Here are some of his sculptures

Salvador Dali
Personally i like Dali's work as it gives you a look into his mind and non of it is real but how he draws it makes it possible as you are able to see it with your own eyes. Dali was one of the most famous men in the 20th century and many people like his odd personality, showmanship and mustashe.

His paintings come from dreams and the way he paints them with the crutches holding them up makes them look unstable.
Here are some of his paintings.

The burning giraffe 1936 37

Sleep 

This painting is an attempt to put the dream world onto a canvas and what inspired by Freudians theme world of dreams. The disfigured head is held up with what looks like crutches and if they were moved then the head would fall out of the state it was in.

Didnt work

I thought to my self i could create a 3 d hand using shaped card and slotting them together but i was struggling. i didn't make a paper version which would of helped me. i got this far them decided to go back to paper to figure out how to create something. i also found out that cutting something with a lot of curves is very difficult on grey board with a craft knife.

Final design

After looking at the spacing and adding some bits of information at the bottom of the poster i have finally come up with my 2 designs.

With this poster i feel as though my imagery could of been stronger as when the image was scanned in it became rather pixelated the only way i could change this is to redraw the image. I do however like the image.

Over all i like my final out comes.

possible final design

Here are my designs for the construction posters i have used my own imagery, i have photographed the shoes and i have drawn the cigarette 

I need to add information about what it is i am warning them about with a fact. This means i need to rethink my spacing and double check that everything is the same on each poster. maybe re jig things.

imagery for poster no smoking

For my no smoking poster i have drawn out a lit cigarette creating the circle with the ling though but i have been told that this is hard the see but i think that it is a good idea.  

To change this so that it will fit into my poster i have to edit it on photoshop. I have cropped out the image so that it is just the smoke and the cigarette using the ....... tool. then i went on mode and grey scale to make the image black and white (more so than in the drawing). I where then to apply a filter called fresco but this didn't allow me to create the image so i decided not to use it. Then i went back onto mode and changed it to duo tone and selected back and yellow which made m image these 2 colours. So that i could then add or take away colours from the image i changed the duo tone to RGB then went onto select colour to make the yellow more pronounced. Finally i went onto curves and changed the tones. This is what i have come up with.

character

Once i had created a character with images off of the internet i remembered that using imagers from the internet was copy right but also the different images will/may of been changed or had different effects. Therefore i went into the 3D studio and collected some things that i used in my first character so that i could take the photos and create my character with my own imagery. Here is what i have come up with;

the only thing i dislike about this is the goggles as they seem to be too dark but over all it is similar to my original one made with images off of the internet so I'm happy with this.
Here is my character on the poster i put the original one on;

I do like the other one better though was it is brighter.
