For this assignment, I used a picture I took while hiking in Washington. I randomly came across this toilette, sitting there by the water in the middle of nowhere, so of course I took a picture! What was it doing there? I have no idea but since then I am ready to "expect the unexpected," hence the title of this poster and call for action. Life never turns out the way we expect it; it is full of surprises and we better get used to it. In this case, I thought random was just another word for unexpected life encounters.
I used Photoshop to boost the colors of the picture and reinforce the contrast. I also emphasized the reflection of the lid of the toilette to give a certain dimension. I cropped the initial picture to focus on the toilette. For the font I used a font called Raleway, which I made bold and all in uppercase. I wanted a simple and clear font so that the reader could still easily read the message, while being distracted by the random toilette standing next to it. Overall, I kept the poster simple because of the simplicity of the subject.

ReplyDeleteCool story. Perfect for the call to action. I love that this was not purposely set up by a photographer but it actually naturally was able to provide that message for you.
ReplyDeleteSuper random. Good message to match the photo though!
ReplyDeleteGreat concept. This was a great idea. I like the humor behind the image. The quote is great and gets the point across. Good call to action. Props.
