Poster assignment

Post by abs »

Had to design a social responsibility poster for my Illustrator assignment using Adobe Cs3.

This is what I done.

Grass I used for the Background layer.

And the little girl I used for the midground layer (family).

Just finished my course last week, so what do you guys think.

Good work, All that I might have changed is the font. It is slightly unreadable.

I do find it oddly amusing how you turned such a happy child into a terribly unhappy one :) But it was a good idea, the slight smile on her face makes it look like she still got hope left in her.

Are you studying art or what?

I quite like the font, actually. I reckon it goes well with the theme.

yeah but it is a tad difficult to read the bottom piece.

The picture in question really intrigued me specially the facial expressions, normally you would have a very sad child on a poster like this but I wanted something a bit different. :)

No, I am actually a technical advisor in the digital printing Industry, that is why I done a Dtp short course so I can have a better understanding of how designers create and submit their artwork for printing.

Noted, that's the same response I got from my colleagues.
