DESCRIPTION
For this project, I was assigned to pick a quote and create a poster using typography to convey a certain emotion. The quote I chose for this assignment was “Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all the darkness”. I chose it for its inspirational message that I thought I would be easily able to convey to the viewer.
STEP ONE: SKETCHES
The first step in this project was creating a few sketches. This is where I am able to put all my ideas down on paper to see where I want to go with my design. Sketches make it easier to see where I need to start with my designs.
STEP TWO: FIRST DESIGNS
After putting my ideas down on paper, the next step was taking my sketches and turning them digital. This is also where I decided on the fonts I used as well as the colors. The font and colors I used on this poster, I felt conveyed the inspirational message that I was going for. The sun in the background was to show the viewer a fun and uplifting image that went along with the quote they were reading. The bright yellows and blues also helped to convey the emotion of happiness.
STEP THREE: EDITS
The next step in this project was making the necessary critiques to improve the overall design. I did this by brightening the colors I used and changing up the fonts a bit.
STEP FOUR: FINAL DESIGN
After making the necessary edits to the design, I came up with the final finished design.
STEP FIVE: MOCKUPS
