I believe that being "in shape" is a choice. For this assignment, I wanted to demonstrate that belief in a motivational way. So, I decided to make an inspirational poster/ad. I asked a friend to pose with her bike, took some pictures, then used a format on canva.com to alter the image and make it black and white. I used several different fonts from the website as well.
I chose to make this black and white because being 'in shape' is very much a black and white subject for me: you either choose to get out and get active or you don't. I also didn't want any added color to detract from the words and subsequently the whole purpose of my message.
The three separate groups of words are are different fonts. I wanted the initial message at the top to be uniform, straight-forward, and easy to read. I purposely made the "GET FIT" bolder and the largest script on the image. That way, after reading the first sentence, the reader's eye immediately moves to the largest, boldest words. I chose to make "It's a choice" slightly italicized. The idea was to add emphasis to the concept of exercising and finish off the entire thing hopefully leaving the viewer motivated to make that choice for themselves.

The black and white was such good choice. And changing the font on "Its A Choice" really made it stand out as a powerful end statement.
ReplyDeleteI loved how you used different fonts for each different statement. It really helps the message stand out!
ReplyDeleteI like how you used put the main message in caps on the lower right third, I think the bike draws your eye that way so it's really well done.
ReplyDeleteI really like the change of fonts, almost like that second font makes the picture more meaningful. Good job.
ReplyDeleteI like how you kept the main focus on the text in the lower right by changing the fonts! I like the contrast with the black and white.

ReplyDeleteI really like the black and white style photo with the white writing. It makes the subject feel more serious, which is really good for the message you're trying to portray. I like that "It's a choice" is in italics. It reminds me of the logo for Curves gym.
