Posters

Words can tell a story but they can also paint a picture.

I created a cover based on my interpretation on the title, The Missing Eye. I felt it would work as an action movie title. So I dressed up as a "bad boy" with my Metallica shirt and long hair. I combed my hair over one of my eyes to create a sense of irony with the title. I stood in front of a green screen and took a picture of myself looking off into the distance while making my body look big and intimidating. I edited the background int Photoshop replacing it with a huge explosion behind me to make it look like I had caused it and that it didn't faze me.

I created a cover for a pretend magazine for an existing fashion company, Lulus. I researched their company and saw the types of clothes they sold. I learned that they advertised casual yet comfortable dresses. So I had my friend wear a dress that met that criteria. I placed her by some flowers that complimented her dress and took multiple pictures until I got one that was genuine. Her expression and smile was natural and that is what I believe would make the audience feel joy and comfort. I edited the picture so it was symmetrical and bright. I chose the font and color to also compliment the dress. The placement of the words were not only meant to use up the space strategically but also direct the eyes down dress.

I represented an article in a poster using graphs and charts to get the information across in a simple and straight forward manner. I tried to think outside the box in showing the information. So I thought about using a speedometer to show the information since most college students have a car revolve around a car in some way. I made the background green so it would stand out and make it easy for people to view the information.

I designed a poster showing the process in recycling the filament from 3D printers. The word "recycle" is unraveling into filament threads, falling into a shredder, through a filabot, and ravels onto a spooler to be reused.

I created an advertisement for an article about 3D televisions. This ad was meant to get the point across without using words, other than the words written on the square objects in the water. I designed a diving board made out of money falling in the water as the figure dove in the water. The water is filled with objects such as, 3D games, movies, shows, 3D glasses, and 3D consoles. The color scheme compliment each other and is meant to grab the viewer's attention. This ad symbolizes how much of an investment you have to make in order to enjoy a 3D television.
