,
This was a hard one.
For my J431: Advanced Editing class, we were tasked with creating a sexual education poster (11×17).We could use any message to promote any specific sexual health topic. I decided to address teen pregnancy.
When I conceived the idea my first instinct was to create a visual that looked like a teenager could draw, so the doodles were born. Most of my notes looked like this while I was in high school, so I thought it would be a good idea to use a simple concept to make my statement.
To make this poster, I first found an outline of a pregnant woman, took the inverse, and printed it out on a 11×17 (so the figure was blank). Then I took the drawing home with me for the night and spent a couple hours filling in the shape with doodles to scan for the next morning. Once the image was in the computer I formed the font by simply using the brush tool in Illustrator, and saved the image with bleeds to be printed.
On a second look, if the poster was for a business of a specific location, I would go back in and add a call to action to finish it off!
