LECTURE: POSTER DESIGN EXECUTION

This week, we recapped the topics that were discussed last week to execute a poster design:
1. Research about your topic
2. Define your concept 
3. Start to develop your design projects

Mental Health PSA
• Most mental Health PSA posters take gentle approach. 
• Graphics work well.
• Target audiences vulnerable

Mr Fauzi asked us to think about “How your images and texts deliver the message?”

TUTORIAL: RECOLORING BREAKDOWN (PART 1)
For tutorial class, Mr. Fauzi showed us how to make black and white images into colored ones. I was amazed.
 


PRACTICAL: RECOLORING BLACK AND WHITE
We need to turn the black and white image into colored image. We downloaded the image here:


Below is the before and after. Overall, I am happy with the results.

PROJECT 2B - POSTER DESIGN PROGRESSION
The task is to research the topic for my poster.
Theme:  MENTAL HEALTH, Stay positive during this pandemic

RESEARCH
I studied and gather all related information about my topic which is self-development from google and pinterest.

MOOD BOARD

I like how the flowers are coming out of his face. It has a deep meaning to it and looks aesthetic.

Figure 4.1 Protect Your Energy Poster
I like the illustration because it looks cool and cute. I love the idea of the sun of how it brings warmth, light, and positive connotations to the artwork.

Figure 4.3 Flowers wrapped around the arms
I like how the illustration brings the idea of self-growth. It is very inspiring and motivational.


SUMMARY OF MY TOPIC:

INTRO: A research by BetterUp showed that there are 5 areas of accelerated self-development during the pandemic. 


Locus of control: up 78% over pre-pandemic growth rate 

Stress management: up 62% over pre-pandemic growth rate 

Empathy: up 28% over pre-pandemic growth rate 

Authenticity: up 18% over pre-pandemic growth rate 

Self-awareness: up 14% over pre-pandemic growth rate

 

(Key Word: Grow Yourself)


PARAGRAPH 1: You deserve to be loved not only by those around you but by the most important person in your life — YOU. Practicing self-love can be challenging for many of us, especially in times when we face serious challenges. It’s not about being self-absorbed or narcissistic, it’s about getting in touch with ourselvesour well-being and our happiness. We practice self-love so we can push through our limiting beliefs and live a life that truly shines.


PARAGRAPH 2: Great challenge brings great opportunity. Data shown that accelerated learning during the pandemic has occurred not just in the hard skills needed for new work, but, for those with personalized support, also in key mindsets and behaviors that help us navigate change and achieve personal thriving.


SUMMARY: There are so many things in your life that you want to get better at, the problem is that we tend to try to better ourselves all at once, rather than concentrate on one important thing at a time, allowing ourselves to build up momentum over months and years. One day at a time turns into a lifetime of change and getting better. We can eventually become a better overall person if we have a day-to-day plan and stick to it.


KEY POINTS OF MY SUMMARY:

TITLE: Grow Yourself 

SLOGAN: Practice self-love 

DETAILS (such as date, link, any related info if applicable): NONE

CALL FOR ACTIONTake one day at a time


REFLECTION
I feel relieved because this week was pretty chill. I enjoyed the tasks and exploring new ideas for the poster design on mental health. I hope Project 2B can turn out well, and I will work hard for it.
