Artsist Statment:
Do your part recycle is a poster representing the need for a greener earth. It is targeted towards a younger demographic so that they can learn from early. Through this poster young children will see the joy and brightness available from cleaning up. To create this poster I used spray brush, cropping, contrast, brightness, and repetition. I started of with a blue spray brushed background and moved on to the message. I know that the message needed to standout but be short and sweet so I thought of key words and how to bring them to life. The bright colours are used to grab the attention and bring a happy feeling. While making this poster I found difficulties in finding the write colours and a good balance throughout. I didn’t want one half to be to top heavy or clustered. By working on my alignment and spacing this helped. I want people to look at this poster and want to recycle. This poster is designed to let people see our world as a happy bright place that can stay that way with the help of everyone. In the end I am happy with the outcome and hope to do something like this again.
Reflection:
Doing this assignment was a wonderful experience for me. I was able to use adobe flashworks to create an image that included colours layering and a good message. Doing this assignment enabled me to get a greater understanding of how to focus a message and gear it towards a targeted audience. Once I had understood that it became easier to choose font colours and my wording. After presenting this assignment in class we got feedback on things to improve, what was used well and things to keep in mind. One of my feedback comments was on the colour and font of “Do your part.” They suggested choosing a colour from the poster to fill the font which would have made it tie in better. Feedback like that helped me to look at my poster from a different eye and observe very simple solutions that you can’t always see. After working on that poster for a couple of days I begin to loose that fresh eye which can help you with pretty easy solutions. The feedback from my peers helped reinforce that outside eye and make my poster flow better. As well they commented on the green border edges that didn’t really serve a real focus but were included around the edges. A key thing to remember from this is do not put anything on your poster/CD cover if there isn’t meaning behind it. Everything should serve a purpose and add to the flow and/or message of your poster/CD cover.
