So we were supposed to combine the styles of William Morris and Peter Behrens and create an add for an energy efficient light bulb.
Researching both artist's work I tried to get a sence of their two seperate styles and how I would intertwine them into my own. I found these two examples:
Behrens:
Morris:
I wanted to sort of mix the two designs in some way. I found some free William Morris inspired vector art from Adobe's website and threw together a poster in photoshop. The lightbulb in my design was modeled in 3D Max, where I then added a posterise effect so that it would appear more in the illustration style of Brehens. I also added the typography in the poster sort of as Brehens did in the example add, and I know it looks a bit awful aswell.
I also tried to make the edges looks off-white and sort of aged or seem as if it was printed, and i think I should have allowed some difference in contrast or some seperation between the back ground behind the light bulb and the lightbulb's metalic skrew base thing. Oh well. There's a lot I would change about this if I had the time to do so.
Here is the rendered image of the original lightbulb so you can see the difference; it is a very crude and low poly model made wtih no references so there is not much to really say about it.

How all the detail to your design, and the incorporation of the dots around the lightbulb (:
I have no idea what you are talking about, Chels. This is pretty awesome xD. And your 3D model of a light bulb isn't bad... if that is what you were insinuating. It is a simple pear shape what could possibly make it go wrong? lol. Probably one of the easiest things to model :P
Ich finde, daß dein Poster sehr schön ist :P. Es tut mir leid, Mein Deutsch ist sehr schlecht.. Es wurde zwei Jahre seit ich Deutsch gesprochen haben. xC
I love it. This looks like an actually professional advertisement. Great job with it, easy to read, easy to follow and to the point. You managed to keep the complex arts & crafts style but with Behrens tidy presentation.
