Small note to all those in my life who judge me incorrectly… And, you know, to help others, spread awareness and all that shit.

An easy, light coloured and bright poster that is eye catching and educating.  The imagery is clear and shows the viewer what to do along with the small amount of text below every image that also tells the viewer what to do. I agree to all of the features on this poster as it is separated into two categories. The first category is to know the signs of a seizure and the second category is to simply follow the first aid steps to ensure the casualty is alright and that they have a full recovery.

this is an easy to follow flow chart on when to call an ambulance for a seizure.

[ejcreative-blog]

A dark step by step seizure poster but yet is still clear and readable. Much of the text has been coloured white so it stands out more amongst the blue text, the red text and the black background. This poster tells people when or when not to call an ambulance for someone that is having a seizure which is very important as not every seizure that happens needs an ambulance. I agree to all of the text put as the poster is easy to follow, clear to read and eye catching.

1. Fist: Make a fist around the epi-pen, don’t place your thumb/fingers over either end

2. Flick the blue cap off

3. Fire. Press down into the outer thigh (the big muscle in there), hold for 10 seconds before removing (the orange cap will cover the needle). Bare skin is best but the epi-pen will go through clothing. Avoid pockets and seams. 

- Ring an ambulance even if everything seems to be fine!

More info for those who have asked - 

Bare skin is best, but epi-pens go through clothes so don’t stress too much over that

Always, always ring the paramedics after using an epi-pen or even have someone else do it straight away. Another dose may be needed which paramedics can administer. 

Location, location. Apologies if outer thigh was a bit vague! If you stand up and allow your arms to hang by your side where your fingers fall against your leg is a great place. 

Legal issues, in Australia first aiders are protected by a Good Samaritan Act whereby the provision of reasonable assistance to those injured or ill is protected by law. I’m unsure how this translates to around the world but I’ll do some research 

Thank you all for reblogging and getting this message out there, and also for sharing your stories! A lot happened while I was asleep but you definitely made my day and could very well have saved someone else’s just by sharing some information and getting educated! Thank you!

This is a physical poster of how to use an epi-pen.The styling is minimal and simple but straight to the point. All of the colours on the poster compliment each other well as they are all different shades of blue with a splash of orange and white. The text on the poster is a bit vague and could be expanded on but it still has the basics of how to use an epi-pen. I agree to everything on the poster as that is how people use an epi-pen when they are needed. I also agree with some of the information below the poster as it expands on where to use the epi-pen and when it’s best to use one. It also expands on how to take the epi-pen and take off certain features to use the epi-pen.

If you’ve taken your reliever medication and it hasn’t helped, read the steps to follow on the asthma first aid poster by Asthma Australia. If you’re helping someone, don’t leave them alone. If you stay calm, it will help them stay calm. If outside of Australia call 911 or the number used for an ambulance emergency where you are.

This poster for design is for asthma awareness in Australia. The colours used are simple and minimal but make the poster eye catching. The text has been coloured red and white and has been placed on red and white so that the text stands out. There is imagery and text to tell and show people what to do and how to do it in an emergency situation. All features on the poster are detailed, correct and accurate.I agree to what it says as breathing issues can be major and if not treated soon and correctly, it can be fatal.

Disobedient Bodies: JW Anderson at The Hepworth Wakefield

[ejcreative-blog]

I agree with the name of the design as the people on the design look completely disobedient and do their own thing. The design is effective as the design of the human form looks 3D. The use of light and dark colours gives that there is a positive side as well as having a negative side to the piece.

“Divided”

[ejcreative-blog]

A nice piece of minimalism right here. Simple yet effective as the piece only has three squares that have been partly coloured in. The name is accurate as there is less colour in each square which tells a story and also shows that each square is divided. The colours along with the design itself are both simplistic. Only black and white have been used to give the design a much simpler look and effect.

A lot of bad has passed. By @nemanja_bogdanov

[ejcreative-blog]

This is a deep and dark piece yet very well put together and designed. In my opinion this piece does show a positive side as well as a negative side. The colour is simple yet effective as it is only black and white. In my opinion, to add more colour to this maybe some pink or red could be added up onto the rose.

The above posters have inspired me to create my event poster as from these active designs, I took various colours from light to dark.

The target market for Gay Pride ranges from 18-40 and the people that attend are from all aspects of the LGBT community as well as just being straight. 

[ejcreative-blog]

The above images are all poster designs for Gay Pride. The first image has been designed digitally in the style of a Politics poster. The poster is mainly black and white with a small amount of grey that has been used. The only colour within the poster is the Pride flag and some text at the bottom. The second image has been hand drawn with colours used by hand also and by the side of the hand drawing is some text and an extra image that has been placed digitally. The poster has been designed like a hair salon poster.The third poster has been designed digitally in the style of a propaganda poster. The main colours within the poster are the default Pride rainbow colours on a black background.

The above images are three poster designs from various designers. The first poster is a well designed poster for a school art exhibition. The main colours within the design are pink, white and black which makes the poster eye-catching to viewers as well as being appropriate as the poster has a artistic look to it as the layout of the poster gives a strong art type vibe. The second poster is a very strong design for the film, Black Swan. The main colours within the design are white, grey, black and red. The dark colours have been used to give the poster a strong dark vibe as this compliments the film itself as the film itself is dark and Gothic. The colour usage is also appropriate as it gives off a dark Gothic look which compliments the film. The third poster is a strong design that has been designed for part of the film series for Maze Runner. The main colours within the design are yellow, orange and black. The colours make it look like that he is walking out of two giant double doors into a sunset. The colour usage is appropriate as it compliments the film as it’s called ‘The Scorch Trials’ and with the colours is makes it look like fire and that it’s hot as well as that it being a sunrise.

Saul Bass work - A3 letters and design - evaluation

For the designer project with one of my tutors, out of the designer research that I did, I had to choose one designer out of the three that I researched on and I chose Saul Bass. I did many design ideas for this project but out of them all, I only had to choose one. I chose to do the initials of his name digitally on illustrator with other detailing on, in the style of the movie posters that he designed. On each A3 sized red background, I created the letters ‘S’ and ‘B’ in the same style that Saul created for his movie posters and then coloured them black. Afterwards, I then I drew out the body that Saul created for the ‘Anatomy of a Murder’ poster and coloured them in a shade of orange. 

After the above steps were accomplished, I placed various amounts of the body shape in and around each letter by rotating and re-sizing them so they could fit correctly and perfectly onto the pages in and around the letters. Next, I printed off five pages of each of the designs. What I did then was that I used one page of each design as a base page as I was making the design 3D. Once the base page designs were selected, I used the other four pages of each of the designs to make the design 3D. I did this by cutting out each of the eight letters and the body shapes that were drawn in and around the letters and stuck one letter from each design on top of the base page with the body shapes that were around and in the letters and then repeated sticking the rest of the letters and body shapes on top of the letters and body shapes that were already stuck onto the base page. 

Since all of the above has been accomplished, looking at each of the designs, I think that the process went well. The colours compliment each other well as so do the designs themselves. Each of the designs are messy and jagged just like Saul’s created movie poster designs which is what I was aiming for Yet, beyond that, I feel that the design process could have gone better. The design process could have gone better by the letters and the body shapes being the same size as well as being stuck in the same place. But, as the base page designs were bigger, I chose to use those otherwise the original sized letters could have possibly have been stuck over the smaller letters which would look out of place and incorrect. Yet, having the letters and the body shapes different sizes and in different places makes the design pages look more 3D and more jagged and messy which was the style and look that I was going for. In summary, I think the process went well and the designs are what I was aiming for yet there were some minor set backs but I overcame them and the design outcomes were exactly what I wanted.
