Programmed to live in the moment
For this personal project I looked into the fact so many people spend hours everyday behind a phone. I feel this is very prevalent in society today as many people film everything rather than enjoying the moment they live in. I feel so many people try to capture their whole lives to enjoy it later rather than learning to enjoy it now.
For my set of three posters, I used an illustrative style to recreate an old PC and internet router. I used the imagery of technology to represent the idea of people relying too much on electronics. I decided to keep the poster very simplistic allowing the illustrative style and type to stand out. On top of that I feel less is more and allows the poster to be more impactful.
For the type I used a bold more decorative sans-serif font. I chose this font as it felt similar to the fonts seen on old computers whilst being modern and more legible. On top of this I made the text larger this way it is easy to read and would help draw the viewer's attention toward it.
For my colour palette I kept it very basic. The use of black and bright green pays homage to the old computer screens that would display green text on a black background. This creates a nice contrast allowing the text to stand out even more from the rest of the poster. To pair with this I have used white and grey in my illustrations; this again creates a good contrast between the background and type. This colour palette allows each part of the poster and allows both the illustration and type to shine.
