Assignment 4 - POSTER DESIGN

This is my poster design. We're supposed to work on a poster with the theme SAVE/PREVENT. I've decided on Prevent Breast Cancer/SAVE YOUR BREASTS. I researched on different type of posters online, and what I realy liked were simple, minimal posters. And I thought, such a style would work for something sensitive like Breast cancer. Often, too much detail or too abstract design tend to either turn people off, or not get the message across effectively. So, I worked around using the silohuette of a female body, with emphasis on the breasts (as seen, it's in darker grey). Similarly, I used a darker shade of pink for the words "breasts" in the title.

For the text, I decided to place it to the left, as readers' eye movement usually start from the left and this would aid reading. Putting it in the middle captures attention as well.

So above was the design I presented in class. Received quite positive comments, cos it's simple and it gets the message across quite immediately. Only one thing, that the copy text and title could be shifted slightly more to the right, so that there's more breathing space on the left. Will try post my edited copy soon.
