Smoke Free Poster Final

        For this project we had to communicate the idea of a smoke free campus and incorporate the idea into our poster with a strong message. The way I came about evolving this piece was I sketched a few ideas out and decided on one simalar to the one shown above. Then expanded more on it as the project went. I had decided to make the headline more bold and not made from smoke so it would read better because from a distance you were unable to see what it said. I added a stroke as well to make it "pop" so it made a statement. I also made the quote from the cancer society into revese bars to stand out from the background picture I took because you would lose it from a far since it blended into the picture. Then applied the same concept to my quote I wrote above it. 

         From the comp. to the final there were a few changes that I had to make. First I had to move the lettering from the quote I had wrote because I had the quote reading a little from right to left and it looked unatural. Had added the reverse bars to the cancer society fact like I did to my quote to make it look uniformed because on the comprehensive I just had a black block behind the cancer fact. I had to change the boldness and type of text of my headline because it  was a very hard read for a poster and the text I choose wasn't working with the poster at all. One last thing I changed was added more smoke that was darker in the background so from a far you were able to see it. 

          What I feel was successful on my poster was I think my drawing of my hand and ciggarete came out pretty well and then the shading I did in photoshop. I think the breaking of the text I did for the cancer fact and my quote makes the poster visualy interesting with the topic adressed on the poster. The picture I took I feel works because it is shoot at a point of view that is reconizable to everyone on a day to day basis. Overall I think I've succeded on this poster and honesty I don't think I would have changed anything. 

          The most difficult part on making this poster for me I feel was the headline text. I was having trouble with the readability of the text and the right choice of text weather or not to use a sarif or san sarif for the headline. Eventually I figure out th right choice of text and changed the coloring as well so it wouldn't blend with the background vaule.
