Design is about doing. Final Resolution.

My final resolution for this brief is the poster with the strongest concept behind it- 'Listen to the silence'.
Here I have screenprinted the design on 'Snowden' stock from the print resource.  Then used a dark grey and pearlised white for the colour scheme.  Giving it spooky connotations.  I am proud of my concept for this brief.  The soudwaves represent the words being said- the soundwaves are the type.  However, visually, I think there is a lot more that could be done with it.  
In response to the brief I feel it can be justified that there is little evidence of typographic design however I understand that the idea is abstract.  Because the fact that it was for a book about typography was highlighted I felt that overall, I had become a lot less enthusiastic about my response to the brief, and therefore didn't send it in for the competition.  I wasn't proud of what i'd produced when I started thinking about it in relation to the brief.  
I now understand that you have to do exactly what the brief tells you.  If it were for a client of mine and I went directly against what they were asking for they wouldn't be happy and would probably therefore never hire me again after that.  There are rules to follow in graphic design and i've got to remember to keep this in check for future briefs.
