As I have to hand in my final portfolio with all my inspirations, designs and different elements in 4 days, I thought it would be the right time to finally show everybody my final poster design.
It has been a very long way to get there, and I can always only underline how much I was struggling with the programs, but eventually I've managed to design a poster that doesn't look too bad.
This final design is completely different from what I expected it to be when I started this module, and to be honest I'm far from satisfied with my work, simply because I'm a perfectionist and thus I always think that I could've done better. And of course I could've done a better poster if I've had more time and more experience with the different programs, but I think that at this stage I can be kind of proud of myself because this is the absolute maximum of what I could've reached this term.
I did my best and this is it.
You may wonder why I chose this pink/purple color as background and why I didn't stick with one of the numerous other colors I tried. I think this color is perfect for the poster, because it attracts people's attention. Although I used a pretty high level of transparency, the color is still quite strong. Some people may say that this is a color that attracts women rather than men, because it is very similar to pink, but personally I think that thanks to the transparency this pink/purple color is kind of 'genderless' and thus the poster should attract different kinds of people.
But I think choosing the right color is always very tricky and thus if this poster would be a 'real' promotion poster for the Brighton Digital Festival, I would probably use all kinds of different color backgrounds.
Another questions one might ask is why I didn't include more information about the actual event in the poster. As we're living in the 21st century, in a world that is constantly online and connected, I think it is more useful and more interesting for people to just look on the social network page of the event for more information.
Often people don't even take the time to read the details on a poster, so I thought it would be easier to just include the different icons from Facebook, Twitter and Instagram because most people are familiar with those and especially young people prefer to check out an event on social media than to read a poster or a flyer.
