Science Poster Assignment

By Jasper Cheyney

What was the brief?

• To Design a Science recruitment poster for college

in the style of steampunk, pop art or similar.

• With the objective of making students choose

science as an A-level course

• Male and Female, however more females due to low

number currently taking science

Different Art styles

• Steampunk

• 20th century sci-fi

• Pop art

• Victoriana

• Cover book art

Steampunk

images contain a strong main focal

point usually a person or machine.

Surrounding the focal point is a

contrasting background to make the

person stand out.

Quirky gold, machinery on Victorian

style actors

Posing like they are having a painting

of themselves.

Early 20th Century

Sci-fi

These Sci-fi posters all have quiet

light pastel

colours that reflect the era that they

were made in.

They all have a big evenT, flying

train, rocket, king kong, huge man.

The posters also have big title texts

“King kong” and “URANUS” makes it

stand out

Pop art consists of bright, contrasting colours

Simple strokes of colour can

Give numerous effects

Comic book effect gives it a modern and

appealing look for younger audiences

Good for advertising as it is

visually appealing and quick to

read

WHY?

I chose…

Why?...... Bright colourful, eye

catching, appealing to

younger

audiences

And a little bit of Steampunk

Popart is

bright, steampunk is

dark, combination will be

effective

Execution… Darker backgrounds with bright foregrounds will make poster

stand out…..

In these pop art related adverts they

all share certain aspects

• THICK, EASY TO READ SANS

SERIF FONT

• LARGE SIZED TITLE

POSITIONED EITHER AT THE

TOP OF THE PAGE, OR

BOTTOM.

• Main slogal short, relevant and

simple and catchy (ABsOLUT

WARHOL).

Examples of typography

T pography

Here are some similar typography styles used in the

posters I acquired:

Simple, sans serif & playful

Bold, clear and striking

Neat, minimalistic and professional

Relevant, futuristic feel and legible

However..

• Get Serious, Get Science.

• Whatever you’re into, get into science

• You've Got Questions. We've Got Science

SLOGANS

• Is science in you?

• COME TO LIFE, COME TO SCIENCE

• Science Proves.

• Stop asking and start answering, science.

These are some slogans I thought of that could send

the message across quickly and effectively

MOCK Up

Proposal

I propose to use a Pop art + steampunk design style that will grab the

students attention.

+ Steampunk

The colour scheme I will be using has been justified from my research

The typography that I intent to use will be
