"What's Your Stance?" Poster





















1. I think my stance is very clear. The language and font I use is very direct and the image shows how the problem in unnatural by having nature's mountain contrast with the man made chimney and smoke.
2. I think I was successful at converting my poster from a thumbnail sketch to a digital poster. Making it digitally actually made it a lot better than my thumbnail because it allowed the images to be much clearer and I experimented with color more.
3. I added a background images of a city covered in smog because it showed the results of the smoke, not just the smoke. I also chose the font and color of the writing to make my message even clearer, although I think the image alone is fairly straight forward and obvious about its message.
4. I think my project is strongest in the concept section of the rubric because the images clearly show air pollution but in a creative way, not just directly showing only smog or factories with lots of smoke above them. I think my worst category is design because I only used one font and it is a pretty standard one, although I think it works well with the poster's overall atheistic.
5. The most challenging part of the project conceptually was thinking of an image that showed the travesty of air pollution in a new and creative way. I think I thought of an interesting image; I'm really happy with how it turned out.
6. The hardest part about the project technically was using illustrator. I had a lot of trouble getting all the images to be arranged in the way I wanted them to be, but I figured out how to use the program eventually and this project definitely helped because it forced me to work with it.
