Ice Cream Series Process

For our next project, we were suppose to come up with informative series that reflected a central idea. I decided to consistent with the idea of triggering the pathos using ice cream as my main focus. The picture here shows the different ideas that I had come up with. The first row focuses on different memories that associate with ice cream to get the viewer to go out and buy some ice cream to because of the nostalgic memories. The second row displays how ice cream has developed to what it is today by informing the viewer of how it started and so on. The third row is promoting calcium and how ice cream is not only a sweet treat, but can also make your bones strong. I decided to develop my first idea because it fit well with the pathos from the previous poster and it was a good transition into this series. I also felt that many people can relate to different times that they've had ice cream and this can really trigger a person's desire to eat something if associated with a happy memory.  

Final Persuasive Poster

Photography

After the critique in class, I decided to take photographs outside. I began by taking similar pictures of my feet and ice cream cone in the images. After speaking with Angie, the simple images were creating a more clear message whereas the other images were just giving unnecessary information that could be assumed. I began to look at these images and how I could crop them to create a visually interesting poster.

Final Persuasive Poster

I wanted to create a simple poster that had a sentimental feeling to it. The text '5 second rule...?' was placed in the poster to appeal to the situation. Although realistically we would not eat the dropped ice cream, we've all had that split second in our head saying maybe it's ok to eat. The type used is a chalk-like text to incorporate it within the setting of the poster and to all ow the viewer to relate to this incident, when it most likely occurred at a younger age. I believe the diagonal view point of poster broke the static view of a sidewalk and create movement as well.
