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.

  1. I think you did a great job at simplifying your image to clearly communicate your concept and idea. You are right, everyone has had or has seen this happen and ice cream is one of those foods that even if you have a few specs of dirt and germs added to it, it may still be worth it. I think the '5 second rule' statement really helps solidify and embrace the pathos angle and really applies to the senses and how good ice cream tastes. Looking back to our final critique, I do agree that actually writing in chalk as opposed to a chalk font, would really add more to the poster. Great job with it.

  2. Yes, not only does the diagonal infer movement, but it also adds a sense of uneasiness – which is appropriate for this situation.
