Persons of Note- Final designs

Through working with paper and illustrator I have been able to refine my designs to not only look more effective, but communicate a deeper hidden message relating to Turing's work.

Evaluation:
I am overall really happy with my designs, as I think I have been able to develop a set which show strong links to Turing's work whilst still maintaining the obscurity he possessed. I also like how the poster will encompass all of the elements of the designs, almost like a blueprint to the rest. In addition I like how I have been able to use five standard circle sizes throughout, out of which three are chosen for each design, which I think works well to represent the five rotors available, out of which three were chosen for the Enigma machine. However I am unsure as to how the scale will work, especially on the stamps, so I will just have to wait until I have screen printed them to see.

Questions:
- How will the scale work as prints?
- Will the colours work without it looking too modern?

What is my plan now?
- Get printing! Need to use my digital print slot on Friday to print the A2 Poster positive but can start with the postcards and stamps now
- Ensure they are all extremely precise in their execution

Simpler roughs for postcards
Trying to link them through a central
circle to extend circuit metaphor

Top two final, bottom left revised to bottom right to include
cable element and fit around central circle

Designs side by side show alterations to include
correct/incorrect answer theory (top), cable (middle),
and Banburism metaphor (bottom left).
Bottom right showing rotor sizes left unchanged.
Top left original design, top right adding cable
bottom left giving more room to new element
and final design (bottom right) balancing
amount of cable and blank space
