Black background for Final Poster

Changed the background to black, the contrast between the colored shirts is more affective. Also the white type is seen better when against the black background color. This was the poster I sent to the contest.

White Background - Final Poster Design

Poster contest idea - The divide between people who are for uniforms in public schools versus people who are not for the uniforms. This poster shows how in the end, all the students are just wearing shirts, and a shirt no matter the color or design has one purpose, for warmth and to cover the upper body.

Poster Idea. thumbs up & thumbs down

First poster idea using thumbs up and thumbs down. It was taking the negative and positives of having public school uniforms. This poster should bring both sides of the argument together to see each other's points of view. This poster shows too much positives about one side of the argument so I am changing my idea to address just the positives of both sides.

Mood Board : Public school uniforms --> yes or no?

 Attempt to open a conversation rather than win an   argument.

4th application

For my 4th application I was aiming for applications that would actually be seen in real life at a Humane Society. I put my logo, business name and information on a name plate outside of an animal cage. I also included all the details of the animal that is up for adoption, such as name, age, where she/her was found, gender, etc. I also placed my logo onto a green food bowl. The Humane Society could use the bowls for the animals while they live in the cages and also give the people who adopt the animal the bowl along with the 'thank you' keychain. 

Business Cards, Letterhead, and Envelope

My company is Helping Hare and it's a Humane Society. It has a mix of sophisticated and playfulness. 

I chose these colors because they were cheerful and bold. The green I used to reference to the fact that bunnies eat green grass. Bunnies generally are perceived as being cute, fluffy, little animals, but they also always look sad which I didn't realize until the project. So using the bunny as the logo for a Humane Society is suppose to get the viewers' attention on how this innocent little creature is desperate for adoption and a new home. 

For the envelope I repeated the Bunny's ear to make a pattern for the inside of the envelope. For the front of the envelope, I kept it a simple white and placed the logo and address in the top left corner.

The front of the business card has the logo and business company name enlarged filling the whole card. The back of the business card has the second smaller logo, which was created by using the Bunny's ear, shrinking it and flipping it. Underneath the second logo is the company's information such as telephone number, address and employee's name. 

The letter head I used for my final project is the one above to the left. I places the line at the top under the logo and business name to draw the viewer's vision across the whole top of the page. I didn't allow the line to continue off the right side, but instead lead the line off the right side at the bottom of the letterhead. I originally didn't have this line in the letterhead and business card. I added this line to help the viewer's eye travel from the top of the letterhead to the bottom, so they would read the business's information. I used this line on the business card so the viewer would be intrigued to turn the card over to see what is on the other side.
