FINAL PIECE

I decided to use this poster as my final piece because it was my favourite and by far the best out of all the other posters. I Love the whole design i have done of the girl with the medal. The reason she is in alot of pink is because she was supporting breast cancer and it was an image of her doing a sponsored run to raise awareness. I like all of the detail i have included within this image and i am very happy with it. I decided not to include the face because i didn't want to imply that it was just women that got breast cancer or woman at a certain age so i just put writing saying to place your photo here. I like the style of writing i have used here aswell and think the whole layout is good.

The part i don't like about this is the colour of the background and i should have experimented to see which color would go best.

Overall i am really happy with this final piece and i would do this design again if i did a similar project.

Ideas

For My first design i thought that doing a charm bracelet would be a very good idea with different charms on it with little bit of information about breast cancer. I like the way i have presented all of my information onto the charm bracelet and how i have managed to copy the breast cancer slogan. The part i dislike about this poster is that even though i only have one image to concentrate on and this is what i wanted it still looks bare and i should have included more information or maybe added something extra onto it. I think that i should have included more color into the poster and made it stand out more.

The second poster i did was the poster with the person holding a rosette and the persons face being cut off. I did this to imply that it doesn't matter whether your male or female or how old you are you could get breast cancer. I liked this idea because it shows that everyone is a winner if they survive breast cancer so thats why i did the woman with the rosette then i wanted to add just a simply amount of text to inform the reader to check themselves. However i think that i could have put more detail into the person and more color into the whole design. I also think that i could have included more color into the text and experimented with it a little bit more.

The third poster i produced was the big picture of the girl and the words "Be A Surviver" underneath to imply that the girl was happy and healthy so it could encourage more people to get checked so they would be the same. I Like the whole idea of this poster as its just simple. I did think that it wouldn't go to plan because i had to draw the girl from illustrator however i am happy with the final piece. The only thing i would change about this poster is the color of the font because i don't think the black font is very appealing.
