Summative My Hero Posters

1. In my posters, I placed the pictures where they were because they show the elements of design. This is key to a poster because if you do not have any of these elements, such as line, balance, unity and rhythm, then the poster would be boring. In my posters, I used focal point, movement and colour to make a bigger impact for each poster.

2. I approached my first poster by making it a poster for a music concert. I included Jack Johnson supporting the Kokua Hawaii Foundation, which he co-founded, because I wanted to incorporate some facts from my essay to this poster. I did not want the message of this poster to be about surfing because even though it is his favorite hobby, it is not the message I wanted the poster to have. By using two pictures and texts, I was able to make this poster seem like something you would see on the door of a classroom or in the hallway at school.

In my second poster, I approached it by using movement as the key element of design. I included a background picture and two main pictures, which overlay each other. Your eye travels from the bottom right to the middle left, and then back down with the waves. The focus of this poster was to describe Jack Johnson’s lifestyle. It shows that he is a guitarist, singer, and surfer – three things he is great at.

Finally, I approached my third poster by using some of Jack Johnson’s songs as a border surrounding Jack Johnson playing a guitar and surfing in the background. The focal point of this poster was the text because it describes who Jack Johnson is and what some of his lyrics are like.

3. In my first poster, I used all the elements of design. When you look at the poster, you start off by reading the title and your eye move downwards. This is a sense of movement and focal point. There is also colour in the middle and in text. The texts are different sizes, which creates a difference in scale. Line is shown to the left because the text at the top and bottom-line up vertically, which emphasizes a clean look. There is also unity throughout this poster because the images relate to each other.

In my second poster, focal point and movement is used. Focal point is seen in the bottom right because it is a bright colour, yellow. There is motion throughout the poster by moving clockwise from the bottom right to the left picture of Jack and then back down with the waves. This circular motion helps to create a powerful effect and rhythm throughout the poster. I used overlap with the bottom right image and the left side image, which are both different sizes

In my last poster, I used a lot of colour. The texts in the border are different colours and the images are in colour too. By having the text surrounding the poster creates movement. When you first look at my poster, you see the white text, then Jack playing the guitar. After, your eye travels to the top left and sees Jack surfing. Your eye finally ends at the top left, the start of the border. You become “trapped” in the border because your eye keeps following it around. The center image of Jack creates a focal point, as does the text below it. There is a sense of texture throughout it because of the different layers of images and text used. The border and white text show line, which creates a clean look to the poster. Finally, there is unity between the content of the poster – both text and pictures are related.

4. I think my first poster is the strongest because it is more creative than my other two. It shows more elements of design, and the concert idea makes it creative and fun! It is also interesting because the images that I chose make it look like Jack is sitting on the wave while stepping on the water.

5. I think my third poster is my least successful poster because it might be too busy. The border has to many colours for each text, which can be distracting. Three ways I can improve on this poster are: making the text in the border one colour, making the background one tone, and making the main image and main text stand out more.
