A2: Postcard: step 2 Composition

Game
The first two letters of Game (Ga) were combined to create a unique symbol, where the a extends the G. This postcard uses continuation as the a spans off the G and it uses reification as the shadows behind give the illusion that the symbol is above the page.   
 Film
After a lot of playing around with the F and i this continuous design was chosen, it once again uses reification by use of shadows. It can also be grouped with the games post card as both have the symbol and a larger version of the same symbol filling in the blank space.  
 Book
The book also went through a lot of design phases, initially with an o being looped through a B, but to keep the sense of continuation, the two letters were merged. Unfortunately in this process the top half of the B somehow went grey, however this will not be relevant in the coloured version. Once again, shadow beneath = reification.  
 Music
The music symbol was one of the only ones that didn't change from its initial design, with the u extending the right side of the M. Once again continuation is used and the shadow creates reification. It is also worth noting that in every post card design there is a straight line in regards to the larger symbol.
