Elements:

Lines: Lines were used effectively to convey the essence of a comic book. The word BALANCE was reversed and flipped upside down using the lines of each individual letter to create a buildin.

Shapes: Along with a combination of the lines, shapes are equally important. The simplicity of the shapes of each individual building gives the poster a unique characteristic, the simple comic look.

Unity: Unity is apparent mostly in the colors and shades of colors used. The twoo shades of green gives the feeling of being green.

Rythm: Used to give it the mellow factor. A kid hanging out with his friends, ripping it up and just chilling. Now the veiwer will put his or herself in their place giving them that sense of familiarity.





Objective:
The objective of this design was to target the younger generation of action sports fans into sustainability. I believe that the differnt elements of color, shade and overall feel of the poster will successfully get the targetted crowd to pay attention to the poster. Its appeal however is to have a poster which is really cool and will appeal to the person, without loud political views. The design was humble and will be able to be placed on a wall for decoration, with the message of being green a statement more than a political standpoint. However like an advertisement, the consumer, i.e the veiwer of the poster doesn't neccesarly have to become a more greener person. However if they see it on thier wall everyday, it will slowly be incorporated into thier lives. I believe that with this design the objective was fullfilled.


Class Participation: It increased just a little since this project was more about your own perspective on designing a poster and not a distinct theme that the entire class had to do.

dear troy
about your poster: the main impact is positive, enough strong to catch the attention. the work on the typeface is good even if you used letters upside down, their countershape, other letters/logo overimposed, they become a skyline and also a human profile: too many things.
and more the texture unreadable on the background. From my point of view you've to take off instead than to add things. Otherwise is like many people speaking at the same time: not understandable.
aboput the type you used (it seems a condesed gill bold) it's not so clear. maybe a less £Wdesigned" type should be better.

but first rule: don't listen suggestions...
