My campaign stuff





Original source for pinup girl

My campaign






This was the trial of the back of my poster. this is where all the facts will be going in the style of a diner menu.
I wanted to add facts about heart disease in like it would be like food, but still add some quirky phrases to make it interesting and different.

My campaign



Ice cream pinup girl





First pinup girl.

My campaign








These are the two main posters i created. I cooked my own burger with cheese and bacon and poured grease over the burger to make it look even more sickly. I then edited the brightness of it on photoshop to make it look greasier and fattier.
I used an image off google for the ice cream, and again edited the colours on photoshop. It still looks sickly, but more appetizing than the burger.
I thought of the idea of the pinup girl after drawing my own personal ideas. when I thought it would be clever and sort of retro to have a pinup girl sat on the food, it gave it sort of an 80's diner feel. Which gave me the idea to do it like a menu. I was first going to do the pinup girl fat, but after much thought decided to keep her skinny, as it would be ironic, having a beautiful woman sat on something so fatty and greasy. The burger was under a red and white diner cloth, so I used illustrator to make the girls costume the same detail. I used illustrator to create the pinup girl.

For the ice cream I used the same style, but more of a girly pretty bubblegum colours. The diner cloth was pink, as was the pinup girls costume, but i gave her blue hair.

The background to these were both very plain, so I chose to add colour to the background, keeping with the theme.

My campaign



I did 3 posters to start off with, I chose to expand the idea of my heart disease campaign.
This cake was my first trial poster, I liked involving food in my idea. Which I decided to keep in my final 2 posters.

infomation graphics

This is showing infomation about the BNP, and where their areas are the most strongest. (blue)
The pink shows areas of large non white populations.
The purple indicates the areas where they collide with each other.
If you look closely at the map on the right the areas where they are both active arent that common. Would there be a specific reason behind this? for example the "class" of a certain society?
Also looking at this map it looks like there is alot of strong BNP supporters throughout England. Which I find quite surprising. I thought less people where supporters of the BNP.
Even though this infomation not everybody is happy to look at and get involved with racial issues, its presented in a very colourful and less depressing than it could of been presented.

Infomation graphics

This image is of the map of the world and under each country has a word, all in different colours representing what this country is the best at, whether it is a crime, a world record etc.
the actual map itself is a very light grey and just about visible,
the words themselves are all in the same type face, with a different coloured box around it, those colours represent a category of what that country is best at. I like the way this is done because the topic is quite an interesting one anyway. If it was just written people wouldn't be as interested as they would be after looking at this, because its bright and colourful, and it gives you a clear view of the countrys and where abouts they are using the map.
