Reflection Questions: poster project

1.  I believe my stance is clear within my poster because of the colors used in each section of the project. To represent the negative associations with republicans I used a dark red to represent blood. For the destruction of the Planned Parenthood I used the colors yellow and orange to show it being destroyed. For my message of the text to be delivered I put a light background and then made the text more dark so the text can stand out which makes the message clear.

2. I feel as though I was successful in recreating my poster digitally from it originally being a thumbnail sketch. I believe that I was more successful digitally than the hand drawn version, I was able to think more outside of the box while I was on Illustrator. In the digital version I was able to add color and add more life to each image

3. I made a lot of changes from the first version of the poster to the final version of the poster. The most important change was the addition of color. Once I added color the whole premise of the poster was changed and made my poster more visually interesting.

4. While looking at the rubric I feel as though I am strongest in the concept area because I feel as though my message is very well portrayed in my poster. I feel least confident in the design category only because I feel like I could have made more use with the page and overall have a better design process.

5. The most challenging part of my project conceptually was making my message clear to the audience. I am trying to promote the idea that I am against the republicans shutting down planned parenthood and it was hard for me to explain that so conceptually it took me awhile to come up with an image to represent that idea.

6.Visually, the part I struggled most with was the destruction of the planned parenthood. It was difficult to crop the building in a way that looked like it was being destroyed, and then individually crop parts of the building to look like parts were coming off. I then had to image trace each piece and transform each part of the building, it was difficult but it worked out eventually.
