Evaluation
What inspired your ideas? I was inspired by this simplistic design of the poster on the left as I believe the person has just focused on the importance of cycling and that inspired my own design.
What did you want to achieve from the brief given? I wanted to use my poster to promote the importance of cycling to the environment.
How did the constraints affect your design decisions? Ideally I wanted to use images of real cyclists as opposed to silhouettes from the noun project, but unfortunately I didn't have enough time to find the right image from Google and then erase the background of the image using the magic wand tool in Photoshop. However because I only had a limited amount of time I decided to use a silhouette of two cyclists from the noun project.
What do you like most about your poster design? I like the simplicity of my design as I aimed to use the images of the grass, the sun and the clouds to represent the environment. The two cyclists I used show that cycling has a positive effect on the environment.
What processes did you learn from this experience? I learnt how to manipulate silhouettes onto a background to create a complicated layer, I used this technique to create the grass on my poster. I also feel that due to this experience I now understand a lot of the basic tools of Adobe Illustrator as I designed my poster using Illustrator.
How would you like to improve, both in the final design and your approach? I believe that if I had made the decision to use silhouettes of cyclists as opposed to actual images from the very beginning then I would have had more time to improve the background of my poster. This means that I spent a lot of time trying to select the right image of a cyclist whereas if i had selected the silhouettes from the very beginning then I probably would have had more time to improve the background of my poster by adding images of trees or animals because I could have used these images to represent the environment.
