POSTER
Young designers, I know sometime you feel hard to create something because of the restriction in topic, culture, legal, effect and so on. In the chain of this topic, 'graphic design solution', I want to provide to you a small information to make your work easier.
The first topic is about POSTER, as you know, we have finished our poster assignment and if one of you feel unhappy about your work, hope that this entry will help you.
In general, a good poster should be successful in capturing the attention of viewers. It have to be right in combination between text and image. Unlike an advertising in a magazine, a poster need to be big and clear enough to catch the viewer's eye from a distance. The elements in a poster should be impressive and keep the viewer stay in a while to look at it more. After that, the poster will convey the message and information to them. To sum up, your purpose is communicate a message to an audience.
I have some suggestions for you:
A poster is a combination of 2 things:
-The visuals: abstract, pictographic, symbolic, illustrative, graphic, photographic, collage or hybrid
-The type: text, font
Your objectives are:
-to communicate a clear and easily understood message
-a poster is not a great art one so it should be easily to read and understand
-legible from a distance
-need base on principle graphic design
-suitable to subject, audience and environment
Hope that my little knowledge is informative.
Ah, one more thing, this entry series is referred from the book Graphic Design Solutions (2nd edition) by Robin Landa, you can easily loan it on RMIT library, it's helpful...
Thanks for reading and see you in next entries.
