Poster restrictions:

• 2 colors on white paper
• type or image-based response...or one of each

Considerations:

• how do you communicate using either words or image 
• what words/images relate to your topic? how do you manipulate them? 
• what is your message?
• collage, image manipulation 
• image handling - test handling 
• deconstruction 
• an interesting approach to type - not just writing out a message (unless appropriate) 

How can I present the same question in 2 different ways? - could the process of people working through to the answer be presented (as a diagram)

HOW ARE IMAGES USED TO PERSUADE

Poster - 'Reactionary poster' 

The actual imagery isn't the focus with this poster; instead, the aim is for the viewer to build their own interpretation of what the poster is trying to promote/present. This concept links to themes of persuasion and subliminal messaging. I wanted to with this poster in particular, how repetition persuades/influences people (repeated/layered images of 'branded' cigarettes).

Experimenting with space and layout (through the poster) to influence an audience is a concept I want to develop further. The final poster could almost be just a 'blank space' promoting other posters around it - could influence them to do a good deed (i.e. supporting music scene through coronavirus)

I asked people to leave notes next to the poster, explaining what they thought the purpose of the poster is. Most were drawn to the theme of branding, which is understandable as that is the focal point of the image (Nike tick). I will aim to put more posters up in the studio to gain more feedback on my 'social experiments'.
