Think

The Poster has been updated slightly with alterations in colours, making the top half of the globe look a bit more inviting with lighter colours and the bottom half darker. Texture has been added to the background, making it more grungey, unfortunately this isnt so visible at this small state. Getting a bit happier with the overall look, I think the composition is about right, not sure if the tagline is strong enough however.

Thoughts appreciated :)

STOP Consumerism 2 (Sketch-idea)

I have looked further on the idea of consumerismen. Im not sure what idea is the best: the pacman idea (with pacman eating things and the game in the background) or this new idea??
What do you think? ?????????? BE CRITICAL!!!! ;)

thanks=)

HOAX CALLS

I was planning to do War and Victims about Northern Ireland but I found it a bit too difficult, so I have decided to do Hoax Calls. This poster I have designed is about the men who work in the fire engine and there could be a chance for them to waste their times by receiving a prank call. It is a message to stop lots of teenagers to call for a laugh. Please comment. :)

Water (unfinished)

Poster proposal 4! (unfinished)

I've changed my theme to water.
Water is vital for survival, but not everyone gets pure water...

Water is a part of mother earth and takes a big part of changing the earth after how we manipulate it.

I want the poster to give a good feeling about water, but also to make awareness on how important it really is. That we have to take much more care of it.


Also I'm looking for a good fitting strapline that could make this poster more complete.

Drink Driving Design 2

Here I have tried to focus on not just the effects off drink driving, but the effects it has on the individual. Each 'pint' has a different effect, with all of them having a major impact on their lifes. I feel adding such effects would make the drivers think before they decide to drink and drive.

Drink Driving Design 1

I thought this design was very simple but the message is clear that both of these things should never come together. This is my first design with minor research put into it, with the pint glass and the car keys as the main focus, and the message of that they should never be together.

I feel the message is suitable but maybe the images could be edited. 

My main focus is drink driving awareness

Improved Recycling

I've taken into account peoples advice and developed my idea more. all feedback wellcome, Type needs changing i think, but see what you think.

Thanks

homeless war victims

My idea was to express homeless war victims will have to stay at the streets or by the roadsides. Wondering if i should change the words 'TO LET' to 'RESERVED' instead. These are just my draft design, will improve on the visuals when I get the right and better photo. Comments please. Thanks!!

homeless

Ok, please be cruel, this is just an example of the idea I want to publish. I want to get the theme of people being ignorant to the homeless the fact that it isn't going to solve the social the problem. The type on the poster is horrible and I want to eliminate that with a stronger visual to communicate my message.

Update

After recieving some feedback on my first rough idea, I have decided to try and develop this idea with a couple variations.

I think it is now recognisable as a hand grenade, however I have changed the backgrounds. On the poster with the vector background (top left) I have also changed the outline around the hand grenade. In one (bottom left) I have slightly changed the message. If you could click on these to get a better view and then give me any feedback it would be much appreciated.

Corruption

My idea is based on the issue political corruption. Political corruption is the use of governmental powers for illegitimate private gain. Forms of corruption vary, but include bribary and extortion. In many cases it helps organized crime such as drug trafficking, money laundering and human trafficking. The burden of corruption always falls on the billion people that lives in extreme poverty. Some of the most corrupt countries in the world is Burma, Somalia, Sudan, Afghanistan and Iraq. On my poster I wanted to make almost a symbol of corruption. Where there is two people making a deal "under the table".

Recycling

Had a new idea and change of subject. its recycling. the idea like my last is to take facts and produce poster around this. this is rough,  and needs delovloping. please can you give me your feedback to help me improve? 

thanks 

STOP Consumerism

I want to make a poster that its a reaction to the consumer behavior today. We cant keep on going with our shopping habits! We have to be more careful, and think!

I want to use the pac-man as a symbol of the consuming people. First I made a pac-man poster with the text: More, not less. My feedback on this was that it was difficult to understand, and I had to go back and make it more easy.

I tried a bit sketching, and this is what I came up with! Pac-man in jail.?!!?!
Maybe its an idea to use logos of famous brands and things to make up the pac-man?

The second sketch its a completely new idea.... but Im not sure if its good enough?!?!

First Rough Idea

Here is my first rough idea on the issue of war and victims. I am trying to focus on the area that is often forgotten and that is how war can make the environment a victim.

I have looked at how bare trees can represent veins and blood. This I have tried to show in a typical war symbol. I have produced this to try and get my idea down so I know what it could look like, but I know it will need tweaking

homeless children

I have two ideas so far about homeless children.
I dont consider my drawing skill to be good enough to express my point of view，so i decided to use photography instead.

The first idea is using the "house for sale" sign. Here I'm telling people there are lots empty houses in the city but there also seems to be many people with no home, living on the streets.

The second idea is using a famous quote "I have a dream". Here I'm telling people everybody has their own dream, homeless people included. Sociaty should give more of a chance to homeless people to help them make their dreams come true.

It's my first time doing poster work,so please give me some feedback.i will try my best to improve.thank you.

Arms Trade

This is a rough idea for a poster. It's aim is to raise peoples awareness of how developed countries are making money selling weapons to the third world.

Global Energy

I aim to look at Solar Energy. I'm trying to get the viewer to want to use this energy and understand the facts. 

Oil is Blood Money

This poster shows the result of the war in Iraq in my opinion. OIL IS BLOOD MONEY. The blood dripping from the dollar bill shows changes to oil to show the death that is happening on a daily basis in Iraq and the dollar bill is my main image as money is all this war is about and thats what i want to put accros to everyone that looks at this poster. Im not using any text as i think the imagery withing the poster is strong enough to tell the story.

Please give me feed back on any changes or sujestions you may have to help me. I also have some other 3d ideas that im putting together and will post them shortly.

Thanks

Proposal 2

A more complex version of my first idea...

My idea is based upon how mankind is doing unrecoverable things to this planet. And in the end humans will perish. Unless we get more aware.

I'm thinking about; Wars, natural catastrophes, aids and other viruses, pollution, how we are ruining the ecosystem... And the list goes on.

I'm looking for a fitting caption that i could use in this poster. Tips are welcome.


EDIT: Details get lost when i have to minimize it from the friggin original size.

Update

Have updated my poster design slightly, adding a brief caption underneath, adding some dirt to his clothing and altering the contrast levels a bit more.

CONSUMERISM

'BUY NOTHING DAY' 29th November, an international day highlighting consumerism. I designed this poster to encourage people to 'buy less' and to think about what they are buying! The background scene is a shot of Mali, a nation in Western Africa. I wanted to use this beautiful photograph with a dirt track of a road as a catwalk for a glamorous model, in order to show the shocking contrast of life and consumerism in different countries. The type is kept minimal and sophisticated to ensure the image is dominant and creates impact.

Matt Preston - Fair Trade

Both of these ideas have been Photoshopped up roughly to show a couple of last week's ideas. The colours haven't turned out very good at all when uploading, so please follow the link to Photobucket to see the proper images.

Millions of children aged 5-17 throughout the world still work under a slave-like atmosphere, their main reason to keep their family fed and sheltered. If only people could see what cruel conditions have gone into their normal coffee, or any other everyday imported product, maybe it will make them think differently. Fairtrade offers families a much better income so that their children don't have to work, and can be schooled and treated properly.

Around 218 million people in the world still work earning less than $3US a day. Fairtrade aims to allow artisans / producers to sell their produce direct internationally, so it provides them with a much more stable economy.

Morgan Jones - Poverty

This is what I currently have for my Poster idea, its to represent Poverty and lack of water in the Third World. I have included the use of a young African child, holding the globe, as you can see, Europe etc is still ripe with water and green lands whilst Africa is all dried up and waterless. The giant tap on the side of the Earth represents us just wasting water and letting it go to waste.

Example

This ad is from Adbusters who deal with issues. See if you can upload your own poster like this. It is useful to maybe add a few words about your issue or about your response to it. Good Luck. Jeff
