Equality and Diverity-Poster Design

This live project was to promote equality and diversity in Chesterfield College and we were given a brief and theme to design our posters for. Mine was race so I decided to incorporate the use of monochromatic colours within my poster and to use the slogan 'Difference divides/defines us'. I wanted to use simple objects in black and white, for example a football, and show two versions of the object with one version missing a colour and appearing distressed and destroyed. Eventually I chose chess pieces as it was simple and a more abstract way of looking at racism.
Ideally I would have liked to have taken a photo of an actual chess board but time constraints limited me to using images found on the internet and using a mix of Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. I think that I have used the contrasting colours to effectively send a message and get peoples attention.
