Assignment 4
Theme: Save this/that- Poster design

I decided on a rather difficult poster to design as I thought it might be challenging to do something different.
I planned to design on a poster to send the message to bikers that instead of speeding on the roads and hence wasting their tyres’ (wear and tear), they should go to the track to speed.
This is my 1st draft of my poster.
Comments were not very good as the class felt that the poster did not bring out the idea I wanted to push forward.
Fonts type and colours are not appropriate as sepia represents sadness or memories.

I did another poster, hoping that it will be better. I wanted to bring emphasis on SPEED ON TRACKS thus the words’ size are ascending. In order to fulfil principles of Balance, the bigger words are on the right, and the bike is on the left. The bike is blue colour to emphasize on the coolness instead of warm.

However, i felt that the poster looks wrong and it did not bring the the ‘cool’ feeling of playing bikes on track. I realized that I often chose colours that are harmonious and the effects I put on it is not strong enough for such an extreme sport.

Therefore, I made a final decision to shift the idea of "STOP" poster onto the picture below. What I am looking at is a motivational type of poster that gives people hope. Therefore the choice of colours are

harmonious, complimentary. The attention of viewer is brought to the words "Be a singer" by the position of the microphone and the downward position of the smaller words "stop dreaming...".
