None the less, it represents more than what one might think after an initial glance. For example, I made the background blue, which represents trust and stability with speckles of white to represent innocence. On the poster, the graphic has a skeletal heart getting stabbed with a sword to represent how people were killed like they were expendable in Hamlet. I had the sword going into the heart with poison on the blade, like what happened in the book, and I had blood on the tip after it was stabbed. The blood was dripping off and tainting the perfect, stable, innocent background, to represent the lack of these traits. The rest of the graphic was just to improve how it looked.]]> 2019-12-05 15:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/hutc4200/805la4wel5j0/wish/420292471 hutc4200 https://padlet.com/hutc4200/805la4wel5j0/wish/420293035 The second poster I made was a bit better in the way of minimalist style. It features a blank dark purple background that represents royalty, power, and ambition; all aspects of Hamlet. Obviously its a story about a price, so the royal side is represented, the power part is about Claudius and everyone else Hamlet is mad at. Ambition is a major theme in Hamlet and every main character is ambitious in some way. I also used a gravestone in the graphic to represent all the people that died and all of the death that is referenced. I hung a crown on the gravestone to further reinforce the fact that the story is about royalty. I also added flowers for an artistic touch and because flowers represent the love that some of the characters had for each other. I made most of the graphic a dark color because it helps to show the mystery in the book. I also made the name Hamlet, the name on the gravestone because he died and because its the name of the play. I made it in the lime green and dripping for looks, and because it shows that it is recent, and he was one of the last characters to die.]]> 2019-12-05 15:56:52 UTC https://padlet.com/hutc4200/805la4wel5j0/wish/420293035 hutc4200 https://padlet.com/hutc4200/805la4wel5j0/wish/420293329 This third poster is better yet than both of the other first two. This one starts with a gradient background with black around the edges with red in the middle bottom. I made this the background because it looks really cool yet minimalist, and the black represents the mystery and seriousness of the meaning of the story, while the red in the middle represents the fierceness, danger, emotions, and power in the story. A lot of the themes in Hamlet have to do with these traits. At the top of the poster, I have a sword, colored red to show war, and the blood spilled, with its tip dipped in acid green, to show the poison that was used in the book to kill many people. The poison is dripping off of the sword into a chalice filled with the poison that was drunk by Gertrude and poured into King Hamlet’s ear. This poster mostly was created to show all of the death and destruction and chaos in the book. The title is behind the graphics in the middle in the same acid green for an artistic touch.]]> 2019-12-05 15:57:17 UTC https://padlet.com/hutc4200/805la4wel5j0/wish/420293329 hutc4200 https://padlet.com/hutc4200/805la4wel5j0/wish/420293840 This final poster is my personal favorite, because, in the minimalist sense, it is the best. It is simply just two wine glasses and a wine bottle casting a shadow of a mysterious skull. The wine in this poster has theological meaning because Hamlet is always doing things that God tells him, and that the win is used to represent all of the sins in the play such as alcohol and the Song of Solomon in the bible. The tag on the wine bottle is the title, Hamlet, which reinforces the fact that the good guys sin too. I also added the shadow of the wine bottle to be a skull because it shows the death in the play. The background is red which again, represents power, emotion, desire, danger, and passion.]]> 2019-12-05 15:58:01 UTC https://padlet.com/hutc4200/805la4wel5j0/wish/420293840
