Kyle, The overall composition and idea behind the poster wasn't as unique and orginal as I thought it could be. When going through the other posters for gay rights, they all looked similar, and the only thing that made yours stand out was the coloring. I think you shoul have done something different with the picture because almost everyone used people holding hands. Aside from that, I liked the textures and colors you used. I liked how the picture was watercolory and unclear in proportion to the bold, sharp colors behind it.
The text to me was okay, but I did like how you placed it in an equal sign, i thought that was catchy. However I did not like how squished rights looks in proportion to equal. I like the dominance of the picture and how the text was not the main focus.
Overall I am not sure if this was a success or not. I can see you believe in equal rights, but it doesn't necessarily make me believe it in. The lack of orginality does not make a persuasive argument.
Well were do I begin, the whole idea of the project was to be persuasive and I don't know what you're trying to persuade. Are you trying to give people the right to hold hands or the right to vote? I don't know. The poster just doesn't tell me anything. I mean it looks nice but it's not persuasive. Plus everything is too centerd yu need some better spatial organization. But on the bright side the colors fit the mood very well.
At first glance you can't tell that their both females. Well, I coulden't atleast. I like how it's simple yet straight to the point. Everything in my oppinion is positioned correctly, the only thing that i don't really like is the random orange rectangle with nothing in it. The random rectangle throws off the balance a little bit and makes the picture a little to even.
I'm going to try and be nice about this. This isn't good at all. The composition is symmetrical (bad in this case), and the pastel colors in the background look bad. I understand the idea of using a rainbow to symbolize the Gay Community, but that is very cliche', which is something you want to steer clear of. Originality can always (almost always i guess) make up for a bad design in some part, but there's nothing unique about this. Try not filling up the entire page and leaving some white space. People always seem to think that having white space is a bad idea, when in reality it is one of the best design elements. In the future try to do less but have it explain more by using the elements in your designs to show direction of importance.
Overall, i thought artistically this poster was interesting, but as a persuasive poster it fails. It doesn't persuade anything. It almost seems like it would be the cover for a book about equal rights, not persuading the viewer either way. The font choices were very bland and small. They are hard to notice at first glance. I think with different font choices and sizes, this could potentialy be a great poster but as of now its one of my least favorites just becaue it doesn't persuade anything.
hey kyle i think your poster would be better if you added a few dinosaurs and maybe a thousand recreation clones of andy. i think he might like it then. maybe add a few lame filters as well.
