In this blog post I will be discussing two self-promotional image posters created using Adobe Illustrator. The approach to these designs was to promote myself through exploring feelings and ideas that I think are vital for a solid future, and to do this I created illustrations and used images that I have taken.
First Self-Promotional Poster
The design for the self-promotional poster incorporates multiple ideas that I am passionate about and would like to embody in future designs. The poster includes friends, family, live music, Christmas and Hull. As part of the festive period, every year I go to a music concert in Hull with my friends and family. The idea of the poster is to be a promotional poster for Hull, which is something I would be interested in continuing with, advertising why Hull is a great place to visit. When looking through photographs I had taken at concerts, this one stood out for this design of a snow globe due to the confetti representing the snow in the globe.
Second Self-Promotional Poster
I aspire to be a primary school teacher, so for the second self-promotional poster I decided to create a design that would include topics that I believe are vital to teach the younger generation. The building represents a school, and each room contains a ‘pillar of education’. The first pillar shows that children should always feel welcome to ask questions. The second is yin yang, this was to represent the lesson of harmony. The next is learning about mental health and what steps to take when dealing with a traumatic event that happens in their life or someone around them. The fourth is friendship, knowing how you should be treated and caring for others. The final symbol represents caring for the environment. These are all subjects that primary schools may be approaching however, I feel that more time needs to be spent teaching these points to help the future generation.
