a self-designed poster

Self-designed poster—my first job ^^

My boyfriend needs a poster for his lecture. It was about the mobile phone and social protection.I found materials from the website, like fire, mobile phone, hands and people. The fire and mobile phone together represented the big energy this communication tool has in the social movement. And the hand was used as the revolution symbol. Whelming the hand to advocate the people to participate in the social movement. I created two versions for the poser, two different styles. HoHo~~ the first one is more serious and second one is more fashion I think. My boyfriend like the second one more, what do you think? P.S: Sorry, I can't not upload the psd format picture, because it is too large...

  1. Both posters are well designed and interesting. The first one is formal and quiet while the second one shouts out for our attention. I have to admit that I like the Cultural Revolution style, especially when it is updated with more modern elements and used in relation to current issues. Regardless of that preference the second poster will definitely grab more people's attention. The second also reflects more directly the political grass-roots nature of the content of the study. More most people, and particularly for Chinese people, the Cultural Revolution style immediately communicates something political or social in nature.
    A couple of other comments: I would put chinese text in the face of the mobile phone since it is about Chinese people using mobile phones and since the rest of the poster is in English this will reinforce the focus of the study; Be sure to make that text follow the lines of the images display on the phone, this will make it look more natural (right now the lines are straight according to the poster but the phone is turned slightly so the lines need to follow the more diagonal position of the phone to appear as a part of the phone); You might want to put some white and possibly transparent outlines on the text to make sure that it is readable over the very intense rays of the sun(this is already very busy and it can be difficult to read text over a visually intense background)(I can show you how to do this pretty easily in Illustrator)
    Very nice posters and images.

  2. Thank you for your timely reply. I just got because I can't not open this website in mainland China, unfortunately....
    Thank you for your advice and encouragement. I really appreciate this class gave such opportunity to learn these useful and really playful tools. I felt interested in these for a long time, but dare not to try because they seems to be very abstruse...
    Now I can modify those pictures my father asked me to do long time ago... I can erase those people suddenly appear in my photos...Most importantly, I can design and creat the image to express the meaning I would like to convey.It is great,HAHA.
    Besides, these posters I sent to my boyfriend as presents for Valentine's Day,HoHo~~The first present made by myself!
