The rest of monday

For the rest of this Monday i have been working on making mock posters of what my final posters should look like. As we are not allowed to use main text (text that we have added to the final design) i found it a bit harder than i had expected, by using only images to explain the meaning of the poster was hard and required alot more thought than i realized.

This is my CCTV awareness poster.

I made this using an existing cctv sign with a picture of the earth as well as many CCTV cameras to try to illustrate that CCTV is everywhere.

This is for my Pro CCTV poster.

This one was made to show that if you are caught on camera it can be used as evidence.

i show this with the judge having a CCTV camera as his head and i portray the criminal as the classic prisoner in the black and white striped clothing.

to help push the point i added another person with a camera head.

This is my Anti-CCTV poster.

For this poster i went for a more minimalistic approach with a map being viewed by CCTV cameras surrounded by barbed wire. i stuck to keeping it simple to try and push across that a CCTV nation is like a prison

I produced these with photoshop mostly using the cut and paste feature's and with images gathered from the Internet (you gotta love that google image search). As well as cut and paste i have used the clone stamp tool and the blur tool, there are automatic tools to do this for you but i like the personal touch. To reposition and re angle items i used the transform tools located in the edit menu , finally to clean up the images i used the eraser tools to remove any edges that i didn't need or looked out of place

all in all i found using photoshop easy but the task a challenge.
