Rock Paper Scissors - Concept Art

    The planning process for this project was fairly simple, and I am deciding between two distinct layouts for this particular project. However, I am leaning closer to the second one. While the first one adds a bit more creativity with having the rules in the middle of the cycle, I thought that having the objects and their representative hand positions next to each other wouldn’t allow a lot of room for the “cycle”. In the second one, I decided to have the cycle in the middle and have the hand positions next to the rules to balance it out a bit more. Still, maybe elements from both layouts could be combined, but I’ll base that on user feedback.

    The graphics for each piece of the diagram were basic objects, so looking for good reference images on Google wasn’t a difficult task. The paper was very easy to create, but looked rather simplistic when compared to the other two objects. From that, I decided to find a good image of paper with a corner folder over, which allowed the graphic more depth and a bit of shadow. A standard recycling icon was used as a reference for the arrow graphic for the diagram. However, I decided to add spikes to it. The purpose was to give it a more “offensive” or powerful look, representing one object being strong against another. The border was a simple idea to fill up the more empty spaces on the page with a line of silhouettes representing each object in a pattern. I’m really thinking of using this to give the poster a more decorative touch.
