enviroment awareness posters

 I have decided to review 4 posters related to the environment, this will give me a better idea of what other artists have done. I may even use a similar layout, or colour schemes to get a certain look for the poster i want to create. 

This poster is very simple but has a big meaning to the picture. I think the poster is very effective and it does make you think about where your food comes from. I think that the tomato was chosen because of it's colour, not only does it stand out from the neutral background but it also means stop, which is hinting that it is wrong to buy produce from across the world that can be grown in the UK. The artist that created this will have used Photoshop to get the exhausts onto the tomato, they also probably drew in the smoke to make it look more realistic. I also think that the artist has lightened the tomato to make it stand out even more from the background. I think i will take the element of Photoshop from this poster and the contrast between the redness of the tomato and the green of the background.

I think that this poster is very clever the photography used is very professional. The redness of the crisp packet contrast with the black tarmac and the yellow line on the side of the road. I think he kept the yellow line in because you instantly know that it is on the side of the road without even reading the text. The text is also very clever the first line can be an insult but it is used in the other term. I will take inspiration from the text, because it shows you can be clever with your words.  

This is a poster about the amount of litter in the world. The poster itself is very simple, the main image in the center of the poster has been made to look like the world scrunched up like a piece of litter. This has been done on photoshop, it looks really professional. Also the world stands out from the background again because f the contrasting colours. Also the text leading is quite big and it makes it easier to read. From this poster i will take inspiration the plain background but highlights and shadows around the center figure.

 

This poster not doesn't just appeal to adults it appeals to children too, this is an angle that could work really well because if you can get it into the children's heads that recycling is god then they will keep doing it throughout there lives. The character is based around Batman so children will recognize him. The messaging on this is also very clear, the text stands out from the backgrounds and is all kept in the same text font. 

In conclusion, these four posters will help me get a good idea of what i plan to do with my final piece. They have given me inspiration and some good ideas. I will probably go down the cartoon route now after the bat can one, it is a very simple technique but a very effective one at the same time. My next step in this project will be to look at other poster designers who use the cartoon style, to see if i can get some more inspiration for my poster.
