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.

  2. I believe that your stance that the idea of parenthood clinics and care centers being taken away is a horrible thing is very clear and that I was able to grasp your concept pretty well. I like the way you arranged the piece broken off and the blood of "Republicans" on the side. Good job!

  3. I interpreted your poster as republicans in our federal government trying to get rid of women's rights in parenthood. I liked how you used a foot to show the literal idea of the republicans "crushing" women's rights. The different fonts' organization on the poster clearly calls attention to the issue.

  4. Before I saw this, I actually didn't really know what planned parenthood was. Now, I know what it is, and I agree with your position. I also like how you showed republicans smashing planned parenthood to give background to your argument. Good job Bridget

  5. It's an awesome poster Bridget! Just by reading the caption I can tell that this is about Planned Parenthood. By adding a leg crushing on it, it really shows that you disagree with it. This poster has a combination of cartoon and realistic pictures, which makes this really interesting. However, I think the color black for the font makes it hard to read and blends in with the grass. Maybe you should try a different color, or make the font a bit bigger.

  6. I love your poster!! How I interpreted your poster was that the republicans are stomping on all the rights of women. It is evident that you care about protecting women's rights and you are an advocate of Planned Parenthood. Although there is chaos within the poster it has a very clean execution. The font of "Republican" has a menacing look to it. So, again it communicates the theme that the republicans are bad because they are taking away the rights of women when it the party is predominantly run by men. Good work overall at communicating a message that should be known. I love it!

    the colors are united in a way that helps get the message across well. i like your poster. Its very evocative. The colors compliment each other in way that makes the overall theme of your poster very clear. It's very obvious that you put a lot of thought into the colors you picked.
