Poster Development

This is my first poster design, which obviously is not very good. It looks really really flat, there is no sense of motion in it and I think that it looks really boring. So, my next step is to may be change the size of the characters, make some small and some really big, I think that I will also change the typeface and the way it’s place, as it does not look very effective, the type on the top seems as it has blocked the space. I am also not too sure about putting the Woking council logo on the trampoline, i think it looks very static on it and i should move it next to the other logo.

So to add a bit of motion and excitement to the poster, what I did to start with was that i printed out different sizes of characters and stuck them in different ways using the cut and pasted technique to see composition looks the best and then i chose this composition, as i think it looks really nice, there’s a sense of motion in it, some of the character have bounced really high so they are tiny and the main character seems like he has bounced and come really close to the camera that’s why he is so big and the message he is holding of course is really important, as my message was become healthier.

In the images on above, I tried using different textured backgrounds to see which background does the poster go with.

I wrote the main text ‘Happy Trampolining’ by hand and then scanned it in live traced it and i think that it works very well as well, except for the text in the yellow board, i think that this information should be written with a proper font as it’s mainly for for parents and it should be written in proper typeface.
