Final Conclusion...

 I have decided to go with the first poster for my final design.  The poster has shown my skills through the use of Photoshop and all the images used to make this poster are my very own.  I have also thought carefully about which type to use and I feel the type within this poster is relevant as it is effective.

As my main aim was so have fun with this project - fun I did have.  The meaning of this poster "Water is Life" is visible in a quirky way through my poster.  The water bottle resembles a gun, and the gun resembles life.  The water I have used squirting out of the bottles was from another photograph I have taken.

Typography

I have researched different ways in which typography is displayed on posters related to water.  Each of the above, I feel are very well thought out and created and they have put the main message across through the use of type.  Although typography will be a key factor within my poster, I want to express the meaning of "Water is Life" through type and images.

 As I want the type to stand out in my poster for "Water is Life" I have downloaded various fonts from www.myfont.com to make this achievable.  The fonts I have downloaded are quirky which will be appropriate for my poster.

I have researched ways in which effects make an impact through text.  The above images are those which were related to water.  Each of them are designed differently but give out the same message and meaning.

My own Photography

In order for me to develop my designs, I took the opportunity of gathering my own photographs.  I want my "Water is Life" poster to be fun and quirky for the younger generation.  I had taken a photos of my little cousin, with nice landscape views of Derry and the sky to make the background effect I have in mind.



I have picked a few photographs that I feel have turned out best.  With this selection, I will develop a background for my final poster.  Through the use of Photoshop my skills shall make the photography more effective and appropriate for my quirky poster.


These are photographs I had taken of my little cousin, it was so much fun! Getting a little toddler to stand and pose isn't as easy as I had thought (bribing with sweets was the easy part)!!  These pictures will be visible through the design development which will progress on to the final poster.
