Poster Layout Design
I do not know what slogan/tag line to use! however i'll just use: Student Summer Antics. to be able to create some designs.


As one side of the promotion i want to create a poster campaign to make people aware of the charity and also promote becoming a volunteer to the students. I have also thought about where i would put these posters. In such places as the student union wall, bus stops and inside buses, trains and platforms, possibly on the back of pub toilet doors. All places where students would see it.

 For this first design i went for quite a clean cut sort of design, using the pantone colours from the logo. I quite like this design and how it is laid out. It also contains all the information i need it to, to inform the students of what it is and how they apply.

In this design i wanted to incorporate maybe a way of making it relate more to students with more of a interesting font, however i don't think this works at all i think the first design was a lot stronger than this.

 This third design was using the same sort of grid structure as the first design however in a different way.  I really like this layout, it looks quite eye catching and aimed at students, however i feel there possibly should be some sort of picture in the space in the centre.

This was a slightly edited version of the layout above,  as i decided to try putting the logo above the column of text and moving the text slightly further down. However i still have the problem of the picture in the centre.

 I decided to re-arrange the layout and add more colour to the design. However i'm not really keen i think it looks too childish and i don't think students would look at it because they wouldn't think it was for them, which is not what i want.

 This design was also aimed to have an image in the centre. I quite like the layout and i think it may look quite good if i develop the image and add it to this layout. Although im not certain wether an illustration or a photography would be more affective.

I then decided to try out a poster landscape, as it was something different. However thinking back it wouldn't work with me needing it to go into bus stop and posters for the train and such things. I would also need to add pictures into the boxes down the right hand side.

 I decided to take a picture of the volunteers/fundraisers of the hospice to add to my designs of which needed them in.

 Some development of layout using the photograph within the layout.

 I think i actually prefer the image being smaller than having it large! as then it doesn't take over the full design.

 Do you want a productive summer?

 For the design below i thought about maybe embossing the type that is on the top of the page to make it more interesting? I will try this out!
