Social Message Poster Presentation


            The focus of my topic is to motivate the world to try and maintain their place of living clean, mostly about recycling. I think freeways and cities are super dirty not only in California but all over the world. I don' think we are trying hard enough to maintain a healthy environment.

          The designer that inspired me is Siang Chang. What I like about her artwork is that it's very colorful. She uses colors that are similar to each other and adds a pattern as well. I also like how you can distinguish her art just by looking at it since they're all so alike. Although I did not make it as colorful as I wanted, her work greatly inspired mine.

                 To create my poster I used both Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. I decided to draw a tree with arrows around it that show recycling. I also added a yellow sun. I decided to leave a white background because thats how the world is supposed to look, clean. I chose a dark green, a light green and a nice shade of brown for the trunk of the tree. I also added a world picture in the word "eco".
                  The font I used was pretty basic. I wanted a font that would look clean and also look good. I didn't choose a cursive as I had drawn on my sketch because I preferred the plain text.
