Emphasis on particular parts of this painting is created, by cropping the print into parts in order to narrate the story. These crops are composed and left with a blank space on which the exhibition details and the venture logos appear. Following pages show the different compositions to fit the various sizes of the different social media.
Emphasis is brought through frames for the depiction of 'windows'. The lines are created to direct the eye to look at the painting and also read the exhibition information hierarchially.
The lines used for previous compositions are used in a curved fashion in these compositions considering the portrait used in this oleograph. The wordmark for the event is placed in a square box outlined with the border of the oleograph.
Five oleographs appear in this post. They are cropped according to the area of emphasis. Blank spaces are created with the placements of the photographs where the exhibition information is placed in hierarchy. This is also an attempt to show the variety of material to be showcased in the exhibition.
