Poster FT


This poster depicts the opportunity 'to learn' drifting away from a persons grasp. I gave the hand a dirty kind of look as a lot of people who are denied education are usually denied a lot of other things also including proper washing facilities, a house, food etc.. The sky is bright where the hand may have been holding the balloon and then as it floats off it becomes darker to depict the emotions of the person, having lost the right to learn.



This is the same poster just with a clean hand.


In this version I used the words 'Your Right' as its their right to an education that has been taken away. It may hit home to more viewers as it addresses them and their rights.



Here I made the poster look more simple by making it look like a silhouette image (inverted colours) and by using only three colours. I used orange for the text to make it stand out more.


This is basically the same poster as the ones above but I used the word 'Education' on the balloon. Just to see wat words worked best.



This poster is the same as the black one above but instead I used the word 'Education' in the balloon.


Newspaper Spread

Binge Drinking!


This is a screenshot of my newspaper spread done in InDesign. I don't really know how to use this programme but I seem to be doing ok with it. My text was a bit all over the place at first and the images weren't lining up right with the columns, but I got it sorted in the second attempt. I also fixed the paragraphs and spacing.


This is the finished product. I reduced the size of the font which also looks better and pulled the purple header down a bit from the top of the page.


I printed out my spread and folded it over and took a photo just to show how it would look if it was in an actual paper that had been opened.



This is just a more clear cut final image of my newspaper spread.

This is my final design (i hope) for my polish vodka label and packaging. I changed the font into a more polish looking one called 'Boston Traffic' and I got rid of my google image and replaced the space with more markings like those I created on the cork of the bottle. In my previous design I tried to work on the 3D view and it was obvious as it just didnt look right. This time I created the design on a flat surface and then used the 'skew' tool in Photoshop to place the image onto the 3D view. I also added the Heraldic sign on the back above the barcode. I changed the text on the cork and box front to vertical text as the letters didn't sit straight when I had them on top of eachother in my previous work.
