Poster Project

This poster assignment was difficult for me creativity wise because I wasn't sure what message I wanted to portray for the assignment. I had an image (shown below) that I had taken at the beach with a cloudy, moody background and a freckled sandy face. I wanted to play on the idea of a beach and happy vibe with the seriousness of my face. My dad has called me his sunshine since I was a baby and it has stuck with me up into my adulthood. I think about it all the time and whenever I'm having a down day I think about how my dad sees me as his sunshine and it immediately lifts me up. I think that everyone should have a sunshine in their life, and tell them that. The color pallet I chose originally was monochromatic with a dusty yellow. I wanted to try a different look to the poster to see what I would like better. The second color pallet I choose was Triad. I wanted to add some blue shades to get the beach vibe in the image as well as keeping the dusty yellow color. I personally like the look of the original (shown on right) better because of the placement of the words and the way the color pallet worked out.
