I decided to develop this idea from my initial sketches as I thought it was quite creative visually in the way incorporates the message. Also it clearly shows that I’m talking about music through using the earphones.
As you can see I experimented with the thickness of the earphone wires and decided to go for the thinner wires as these don’t over power the text on the poster and although the visual is important, the text is extremely important.
I started to have music lyrics coming out of the earphones and have them in conversation boxes to highlight the fact do you want to be sending this message. If not then why listen to it?
I think that the yellow and black is working quite well together here as they are contrasting colours that have the desired shocking effect.
Using the same colour scheme I decided to develop this idea from my initial sketches I drew out. At first I drew the microphone quite bulky but I was advised by peers that this weren’t successful so I decided to redraw the mic and you can see the outcome to the left. I think that this design could be successful if developed further but I don’t think that I will take it any further as I prefer some of the other ideas I initially drew and have developed.
Here I have experimented with the hash-tag design idea; however I have removed the hash-tags and made the three words have more freedom. I think that this works well as it’s as if the words are being spoken as they show expression in the way that they have been drawn in comparison to a neat and restricted typeface such as Helvetica. The type also makes the phrases appear aggressive which works well with my campaign idea as it’s make the words appear even worse than what they already are.
As I have used the same colour scheme throughout my development so far I wanted to experiment with other colour schemes to see which was more successful. I chose to use red and white as these colours also remind me of warning signs which is something I wanted to get across. These colours worked quite well I thought although I still preferred the yellow and black. Another option was the use of green which I thought looked visually appealing, however I felt that this mellowed the message too much and didn’t give the dramatic reaction I was aiming for. After this development I will look at colour meanings to see what colours would work the best for the message of the campaign.
