Ideas:

On the poster I want to use the elements of the apes environment. I am going to use the wood as a border to hold my sponsor logos, I am also going to use the string of the apes to help fuel the idea of string lights. I decided I would do an illuminated string of lights with a light in the middle holding a couple dancing. Text will be floating around it. I thought of putting multiple scenes in each bulb. As I am designing I will look into those decisions.

 I started my project by building a fence with the sponsorships sitting on top of it. I knew my project would be top heavy so I added the fence to counter balance the heaviness of the top.

Next I started adding some text to the document that I knew I would be working with.

I hung a string of lights in the background to seem like they were far away.

I thought I wanted light bulb shapes on the closer strings of lights.

After I put them on there they looked out of place, so I started recreating the circles lights at a higher size.

I repeated my form of the lights. Added the middle circles with the information and started working with my text again.

The original purple I chose seemed to be to dull for the sign, so I added the color contrast to the fence and this will also be the color of the text.

I strung my text across the top for the headline.

I added a line of text of the event details and put the address and web address back on the paper. I changed the sizes of the original circles to be more drastic in size

I didn't like the way the address and web stood out so I adjusted my fence up and tucked it underneath the bottom of the logo sponsorships.

Other Variations of the monkeys in different positions showing them hanging off the lights.

Version 1: Minimize to one monkey on the left and put logo in the lights.

Version 2: Hang both on the line

Version 6: Moved down on the line

Version 7: Moved to one monkey

Added the text outer glow, did not care for it so I removed it for the end result.

On the final version I added back the other monkey and moved the text around.
