Social Issue Poster

The topic for my poster was that of racism towards Asians during the coronavirus outbreak, due to the cause being from China.

I found my research by going through google and finding articles from trusted websites who documented several occurrences of racism towards Asians and the reason as to why it is happening besides the virus.

The font I used was " TitlingGothicFB". The reason I chose it was due to it's serious and professional looking type. The topic was very serious and I did not want to discredit it by using overly friendly or aggressive fonts. I wanted it plain and simple. The plan was to let the image and words themselves make the most impact and the font I chose proved to be a great ally in establishing the previously said goal.

I applied all the principles of design that I could use in such an instance. I wanted it more plain and simple to add to the power of the poster.m I would say the greatest challenge was also the main focus and strength of my poster and choosing how to deal with that, simplicity. Although I got what I wanted the poster does, to me, look a little simplistic but I hoped to aid that by adding the powerful image. Also, I'm not comfortable with social issues at all so this will definitely be the last time, whether it's for school or not, I will be addressing such topics due to the fact that my end goal is not to deal with such issues whatsoever and so the conflict of those thoughts also plagued me during the design.

The one on the left was the first design and with revisions, the one on the right is the final version.

Elements and Principles Of Design


The Elements and Principles of design are extremely important. They make up the basis for essentially every piece of art work. Artist wether professional or not do best to always keep them in mind in order to create something actually good. They are the rules of the art world and reign true to this day. Thankfully I was really able to get a good grasp of what they are and you can see that be "personified" through my poster down below.

By always keep these elements and principles I too can create great pieces of art/design. Keeping them in mind will always guide me in the right direction and allow me to make the best pieces I can make. They will also allow for my pieces to be professional looking and objectively interesting.
