I went with a brown coloured background to help with achieve a retro feel to the poster and then used brighter colours for the dots to give it a nice contrast. As I went with the dots which is probably the most obvious route I wanted to do something different with the typography so I used a really cool font called Hipstelvetica. This modernised the poster and also added that something unique that I was looking for, personally I really like this font particularly on the title at the top.
Other than this I added the social media and Brighton media centre logo's as well as my name now all thats left is to pitch this to the class along with everyone else's poster.
