August 3: Week 3, session 2

Today we focused heavily on progressing our posters. We started off by filling out a sheet in order to confirm the aim of our poster, our concept behind it and work out a few possible strategies. Doing this allowed me to better understand the goals of my poster and visually see if my concepts will read the way I intend them too.

After doing this we were then given an hour and a half to create on poster design that we could hang up to show the class. By having this deadline it allowed me to quickly make decisions and hash out multiple ideas.

I finally decided on the design below and chose to add a bit of facts from articles I researched at the bottom in order to make the concept very clear. Using juxtaposition this common phrase "you can't make an omelette without breaking a few eggs" plays off the image of a baby chick in a grinder. Allowing the message to be clear and forcing the viewer to reconsider things that seem common and ordinary. I chose to overlay an image of a broken egg over top the chick to represent the egg industry and also relate back to the text above.
