PETA poster for Design Systems class
This winter quarter I decided to take a bit of a breather from Flash and code and decided to take a class in the graphic design field. It’s nice to get a bit of a breather every now and then and work on something that I don’t do much anymore: drawing. For the class, we were each assigned a different non-profit organization to work with. I was given PETA.
One of the projects was to design a poster that represent a message our “client” would want to convey using our own style. We started selecting different imagery to give us a decent amount of varying content to pick from. One of my images was a little mouse with a giant robot arm above him. I thought this image perfectly reflected the message PETA wants to convey: the defenseless animal and the human using them.
After look at different collateral they have, I thought taking the design in a 50′s style design would work great, along with the bright, cheery color scheme I had created. After sketching up the design, illustrating it, and refining, I came up with a poster I was quite happy with.
