Final Poster Design


My Final Political Poster Design is based on the Art Style Swiss Style. This consists of different font types mixed together to make this design and also to have a form of abstract background to compliment the style I have chosen. What my poster is representing is the fact that many students that we asked in our survey knew who our current prime minster was and what his role was in the government. These are shown by a simple triangle shape which I thought could symbolize how the government tend to tower over you to make you feel small and no longer in control. 

My Original design didn't show any link to the Politics theme which I by I altered it to link the art styles and the political theme into one smart looking poster. At first it was just 9.43% didn't know, and that didn't link anything to politics to the public so it wouldn't appeal to them. Then I had the conservative party logo as a background image which did slightly link to the theme but only focusing on one of the main parties, not all of them in general. 


I asked for some advice from another member of my team and he suggested to use shapes to represent the difference in who did know and who didn't. At first I had the smaller triangle inside the larger one but this made me struggle to place the text correctly to suit the art style I was using. The text I chose are just simple designs with use of the Sans Serif style with the straight angles in one direction. The background color and the color of the triangles contrast well together due to how it incorporate both genders and makes it feel more homely instead of in your face.


I think the final design overall sums up what messages I'm trying to get across by using visual elements as well as words. I think this art styles suits the message because you can experiment with different types of text and how it all lays out to make it look like it actually means something. I think this design has to be my favorite out of all the others because it clearly shows it's purpose whilst attracting the public's attentions.
