Final Outcomes for Posters - 30.01.23

 The videos talks and shows how I managed to get to my final outcomes for the posters. 

The video shows the different details that I had to think about, from the layout of the poster to the background image that I wanted to use to convey how the specified word was manipulated and changed during the development of the final outcomes. 

The Final posters are shown below;

The first poster shows a photo of someone missing glasses with the word "forgetting" in the scribbled font. I chose the photo to be this as it clearly shows someone missing their glasses and having forgotten or lost them due to carelessness or misplacing them. I also wanted to show a more serious side to having ADHD as this is aimed more at adults and less at children. Keeping it colour minimalist always has this sort of formality to it, with the careful balance of being not too serious with the typography of the specific words that people use when describing people with ADHD either in person (as I have had first-hand experience with being diagnosed with ADHD) and with what the NHS has put on their website. 

The second poster shows the background has more of an abstract look to it, with the background having streaks. This was made by panning the camera around with a slow shutter speed. I also chose this background as this showed having a disorganised look to it, with the background reflecting what the word entitles. I also changed the layout of the poster, which was an initial experiment but stuck to it as it looked different to the other posters that I have created. 

The last poster has a photo of what looks like a workspace. I wanted this as the background as this shows a workspace and would tie in nicely with the question that I wanted to show. I also changed some things such as blurring the background so that it is not too distracting. 

I have also referred to my best friend who has ADHD as well, who also does Concept Art and he has said a couple of things. 

The scribbles used for the lettering cuts off the letters, which is a mask of the scribble layer. He suggested that it was best to try and cut off the lettering more or less, but overall suits the typograph that conveys the poster. It was a suggestion, but there was nothing wrong with the typography 

He also suggested that the photos used for the poster was a nice touch, as it adds to the poster meaning and the meaning of the word that was changed. 

The layout has some problems that he has suggested. The first poster layout, the top of the poster is cramped, whilst with the sentences it is not centered. He has also pointed out that the layout on the last poster is good, because there is space there for the poster and would rather have space than the cramped look to the poster. 

He has also suggested for me to have a look at the second poster to see if centering the lettering in the middle of the poster makes a difference. He also said to me that it was personal preference and I should compare them side by side and make my judgement call.

Overall, he likes the posters and would like to see them up somewhere for people to see. 

I also asked someone that does not have ADHD (such as my fiance) and she said that the posters looked good.

She has made some suggestions for the website thought and I will write about them in a seperate blg post.
