First of all, my poster's message is about justice for the black community. Let it be known that after all these years we are still waiting and then it is frustrating. The aim was to give people the chance to differentiate between accountability and justice while giving some hope.
To begin with, I used the rectangle tool to create a yellow background I wanted a colour that captivates the attention. Then, I wanted to put an accent on the word "accountability" because it is the main accent of the poster so I used the type tool and I chose to do it Georgia by enlarging the size of the letters. I set the vertical scale to 200% the horizontal to 175% to give a big volume to the word. I used the underline tool to highlight and put an emphasis on the word. Then at the bottom, for "we're still waiting for justice" in small font to let know that there's still a little bit of hope.
Afterwards, with the ellipse tool, I draw a black oval, then I made an alignment by writing the names of some African Americans who passed away in the previous years. Always to give an accent on the names I chose the Silom font.
To finish, I think at the bottom of everything I put a photo of Martin Luther King jr with the option place in files. This photo meant that we're all in this together and that sooner or later we'll have our justice.
I encountered a little challenge when it was time to write over the background. I had difficulties placing the layers one on top of the other.
