This is a poster I created about Endangered Animals all around the world, mainly Canada. I feel really strongly about this issue, which is why I chose it. I basically took many different picutures of animals from the net, and pasted them into the photoshop document to begin with. I placed them all in order, so it looked neat. Then I added the title I came up with "Defend to the End." It basically means that we have to keep trying to save these animals and protect them, otherwise there's no hope...
To make the pictures stand out, and look more effective on the dark background, I used certain effects such as filtering, brightness and contrast, and the dodge and burn tool. Each of these tools made the pictures more unique. For the filter, I chose a neon typed outlining for the picture, to make only their outline stand out, and you cannot see their fur or eyes. You really have to look at it closely. The other four pictures were edited with the burn and dodge tool, mainly to make them the brightest of the poster.
The text I chose to use in my poster is called "Broadway." It's my favorite font. For the title, I decided to make the first and that last words (Defend, End) larger, because they are the most important in the sentence. To make it stand out in contrast to the black background, I chose a bright blue color. It's the first thing you notice when you look at the poster. For the writing in between the rows of pictures, I used a few sentences to let people know that animals are like people, and we should treat them with respect, the same way we would want to be treated, which is why I included "How would you feel?", because honestly, how would we like to have our environments destroyed, and to be hunted for our skin? We wouldn't. The yellow font I chose really stands out with the blue title, and they don't clash with the pictures, or with each other. I think the poster is really well done, compared to my other pieces of work. It's definitely the best yet.
