Safe and Sound Campaign-Poster Design

The brief for this project required a piece of graphics to promote and support the work of the safe and sound group for young people. I decided to create a poster design to raise awareness of internet security for young people (12-14 years old). The Illustrator Peter Mac was a great influence in my design because of his really vibrant and stylized pieces which suited my target audience. I wanted my message to get people thinking about how secure they were online so I wanted create a dark theme to my idea to portray this. I have created a typical notebook style with doodles and drawings that suit the theme and are relatable to the audience.

Contextual Influences-Matthias Schardt

During a college project I researched into various illustrators and designers gain inspiration for a distinct style. Whilst researching I discovered a German Illustrator called Matthias Schardt, whos style was very compelling and simple. He creates the majority of his work by using black indian ink to create a simple outline and shading and then uses Photoshop to add extra details and colour. I really like looking at his work as it shows talented drawing skill and great use of colour.
