This was a poster for an workshop event.  The wdetails I had about the workshop were, 'This free workshop explores the relationship of public and personal in different life story projects which prioritize listening, sound and voice. Three presentations will discuss questions of politics, representation and aesthetics which arise in using life stories in specific creative works – an experimental audio work using stories by women involved in the Women’s Liberation Movement; a reflexive installation of voices from women involved in the construction of an archive; a sound/image piece about the artist’s parents chess game to combat memory loss. 

 

For my first draft I concentrated on the listening, sound and voice parts of the brief using lips (Michaelangelo's David's lips in fact) as the main image and I added other sound symbols. 

 

The client felt the lips were, fetishistic, (!) so I changed the image for one she provided for me. She also asked me add loads more text so it ended up looking a bit wordy.  Still works though I think.
