Assignment 4

Theme: Save this/that

This time we have to design a poster that goes along with the theme of Save, Prevent, Kill, etc. My original idea was “Prevent Robbery”. So I started my illustration on Photoshop, using the writing tablet again.

I was quite satisfied with the ‘hot babe’ before I went on to draw the robber.


After I drew the robber, I realized that the poster seems a little too kiddy because of the ‘mini robber’. It doesn’t seem to go well with my ‘hot babe’ at all. Looking at the hot babe, I then ask myself why not change to something like ‘Save Yourself’ since the hot babe portrays the ‘dress to kill’ impression. Any pervert would sure be tempted to stalk her. Hence, I replaced the ‘mini robber’ with a ‘gentleman’. The idea was to signify that looks are deceiving, he may appear as harmless but in actuality he might be a bad person. To further depict this point, I added a wolf’s tail at the shadow of the man.

So this was this poster i presented in class...


But it's not the final version yet. Instead of using "Save Yourself", I will change to "Protect Yourself". And I will have to modify the tail of the stalker. Moreover, after printing I felt that the lines of the hot babe look a little pixilated because I drew the poster with the writing tablet instead of using Illustrator. So I will redraw my whole poster using Illustrator.
