Final Poster AnalysisBy Jordan Lyn

Vectors

My slogan required different vectors to be laid out in this order. I put the text in different sizes for it to stand out more to my audience.

The arc was created in Photoshop where I created a full orange circle and increased the boldness of the circle to make it stand out. I then inserted the circle into InDesign where I used the frame of the page to cut out the parts of the oval circle I did not need. After doing this I went into Photoshop and using the ‘quick selection tool’ I cut out an oval shape of her and inserted it into InDesign in a layer on top of the orange circle.

I made the background by inserting a rectangle shape and using the ‘eye dropper tool’ I took a sample of orange from an image off google and pasted it onto my background. I then made a gradient with the background which is why the colour is faded at the top.

TextIn InDesign I used the text box tool to insert my text. My font was Ariel, I selected this because it is San Seraph which is more formal and stands out on the page; these are the aims for my poster and I feel that this was achieved through the type of graphic style it portrays – International. I chose to make my poster in this style because its purpose is to inform the audience, if it is easy to read and stands out then people will see it and read it easily.Due to the minimal amount of text I did not use columns however my text was carefully placed. The text at the bottom was placed in a hierarchy formation, the slogan which could also be considered my title was placed in an order too, this order is of size – this made it stand out.

ImagesI inserted a jpeg photo I took with my iPhone and uploaded it by connecting my usb to the computer and inserted it into Photoshop then placed it into InDesign. In InDesign I used the transformation tool to make my image fit to a suitable angle and size.

Page Arrangement My page was laid out in a portrait format because I felt more comfortable on fitting my image and text on the page.

PresentationI did not need to manipulate the image’s pixels as the image was clear enough for the poster. I had to export my poster to a jpeg because this made it easier for the audience to view it on my blog. The image of my actor also had to be converted to a jpeg format for it to be imported into my InDesign file.

Creating Web Based GraphicsI organised my files in different folders under the unit name then under who the work is for. I also created a blog to put all my work on and also arranged it in the same way as the folders; the task names and any other bits that fall under it.I copied links from other work sites such as slide share to make my presentation on my blog easier to view.
