Poster Development and Flyer Poster Design

After class I worked on developing our poster, following some helpful feedback from the class and teachers. I have included some developments below, looking at a couple of different options. These have been attached directly below:

Some of the feedback was to look at ways of making the trash look like it's flying our of the fish's mouth, in order to create more movement throughout the poster, so I decided to add to duplicate each piece of trash multiple times, and then lower the opacity on each one respectively, to make it appear as if they're moving at speed. I have also moved the body copy down into the bottom right corner, so it's not getting in the way of the white negative space. In the top poster, I made the fish slightly smaller, and included part of the hand, just enough to make it evident that the fish is being held and dropped into the mouth. In the second development, it is quite a large scale again, although the text has been placed on a diagonal to keep the dynamic appearance of the poster. We will continue to develop this poster following feedback we receive tomorrow in class.

Along with this, I worked on creating a poster for our flyer. The flyer will fold into a small booklet, each page being A5 size, although this will fold out into an A2 poster. Jeremy sketched up a quick drawing of what to put on the poster yesterday, so I used this as a template when creating it digitally. I have attached the digital version below:

We are looking at having the flyer/booklet more as a 'Thankyou' flyer, which then informs the participants how they can continue to look after the environment, organise their own beach cleanups, and also ways to minimize their pollution. This will be handed out to those that attend, and we are aiming for families to come along, so the parents could read and take in the information from the flyer, and instead of throwing it out or storing it somewhere they won't find again, their kids can hang up the poster on their wall. We have used the text "We did it!" to make them feel like they made a big contribution, however, in the body copy we reiterate that pollution is still a massive problem everywhere, and it's only even a temporary step towards a better environment at that one beach. We reiterate that cleaning up our environment is an ongoing process, and encourage them to attend more beach cleanups in the near future. Overall, I quite like how this poster has turned out, and feel that it's a good way to encourage them to keep the flyer by having a poster on the back. 

Again, we will get feedback in class tomorrow and then continue to make developments to each piece of media respectively.
