Class task: Poster

 In today's session we worked on a piece that would be advertising our project. I decided to create a poster that would work as an advertisement. The set of posters I am creating for the project are more of a mental health awareness rather than advertisements, so this was something new for me. I decided to make a movie poster. 

I imagined my character "holding" or trying to hold a conversation on mental health. I also did not create any ground of her to stand on because I wanted it to be detached from reality, because any sort of conversation about mental health is sort of detached from reality. Also I made all the words in the second speech bubble as if they were written by people with chalk to make them real. The title of the movie is in a different color because I wanted it and the character stand out. 

Before making the poster digital, I have drawn all of it on paper:

This is how I planned it out in my sketchbook. Then I took a picture and uploaded it to my IPad to trace some of the elements and get reference for the images I did not want to trace. 

In class I got feedback that maybe I should change the tagline which in this poster's case were only the words and add a sentence. I think that would also work well, therefore I have erased the bottom speech bubble to put in the sentence in it. 

I decided to put in a sentence that would possibly motivate people to create a conversation. I also wrote all of that in a brush that would represent chalk. 

Here is my finished poster:

I don't know if I like this one more, it is different and it does have a proper tag line, but I am just not sure if the one I did before was not drawing attention more.
