Communication is a Virus: Final Pieces

Final Pieces

These are our final pieces, which are visually consistent because of the use of two colours plus stock, as well as the use of the logo. Also, all the posters follow the 2:1 A3 format. 

Matt's Designs

Matt's category was time management, so he has created two posters as well as stickers relating to this. With this category, we are aiming to get people to do work that they want to do but keep putting off, as they are spending their time doing other things. This is in answer to the things that: Beth; Lisa; Sarah P; Chris; Sarah R and myself wanted motivation to change.

Posters


Matt also created a design for a potential website on Illustrator. There are two examples, one for fitness and one for language. They show examples of the motivational posters as well as more information about each category as well as hints and tips. It would be useful having a link to this website on our designs, or having this information in a book that we could give away with the posters. However, the website was one of the final designs of the group work, as we had already printed the posters beforehand.


Kirsty's Designs

Kirsty's posters and products are aiming to motivate people to do some exercise and get fit. This is in response to things that: Beth; Chris V; Sam; Chloe; Kirsty F; Liam; Will; Kirsty A; Alex; Luke; Chris L and Kirsty herself wanted motivation to change.

How I would extend this...

In the presentation it was questionned how well these posters actually work at motivating. I think in the sense of the posters looking good with a motivational phrase, like the posters we looked at for inspiration, they work, but it is hard for a poster to actually make you want to change your life. More information and links to further resources as we initially planned would have been a good idea.
