Prägnanz and Closure | Art

With my photos from this photoshoot, since the theme around my board is memphis which has lots of geometrical shapes I was thinking of adding shapes into the background and around my images. Though I think I might retake these photos in front of just a blank wall or something that fits my color palette (pink, blue, yellow) more because it will be easier to work as the green background of the plants in the photos I have taken don't fit my color palette or theme at all. 

As for applying gestalt into my posters, I want to play around with the similarity and common region aspects of gestalt. In some of my posters I have already made I've been playing around with similarity by repeating silhouettes of different instruments. 

I'm not too sure how to apply closure into my poster designs just yet. Most likely something with the outline of a guitar/ukulele or any other instruments. I like the idea of text and fonts being made into shapes so that it gives the allusion of the different instruments. Something like the image on the right. I was playing around with this for logo design but I think it would work well for poster design too.

Photos for kaupapa

My brand is promoting a music shop that sells instruments. Since I want my brand to be selling instruments, for possible photoshoots I could take photos of different instruments and people holding instruments. 

I made a mood board of potential photoshoot ideas I could take inspiration from. I like the idea of the photos not having anyone's face / majority of their body in the images. I like how the first three images are just the instruments and peoples hands. With the illustrated photos on the right I was thinking of taking photos of real instruments and adding different colors from my color palette around them.
