when jing mentioned we could only use our own photos for our posters, the idea of doing a shoot for a poster about dreams came to mind. here's the story board to explain what i mean.
and so i ask a friend for help with taking photos, he had an awesome DSLR and i couldn't find anyone to model for it, so i had to model. haha.
here are some of the photos i really liked...
i chose the third picture cause i felt it conveyed the message well, it seemed like a sad picture - after all having your dreams robbed is something that sad. and here's the poster...
the colours white black and red were chosen cause they essentially contrasted each other well, and would bring a lot of attention to the poster while people are walking by bus stops and such (where the posters are intended to be put) and yea, the rest of the poster was quite straightforward (= except for the part when i had to try and conceal certain areas of the background which had imperfections in them.
it occurred to me while doing the poster, that not everyone has the same dreams as me. the poster generally encourages people to not stop dreaming and hence it had a picture of me singing...
so i was thinking that it probably should, in the case of the "initiative" have a number of poster designs, for different occupations and different dreams.
