Billboard Designs

 Billboard Designs

This design idea came about by the idea of the Tampon Tax and period poverty, I wanted to add some sarcasm and a bit of wordplay with this design concept for one to experiment and two to see what I can create for a Bill Board Design.

Design Test 1

I experimented adding a cross in this variation as I wanted to show I am fighting to banish Period Poverty.  I liked the concept it sounded better in my head than perhaps on the design. 

So I had a rethink on the design of this Billboard.

Design Test 2

This design I experimented with I tried getting rid of the cross, which I felt worked better, and instead add a tampon to the design because it is known as a tampon tax but I didn't feel the illustration. of the tampon was strong enough for my liking of this design. 

Design 3

With this design I think It looks much cleaner and much better, I like the negative space in this designed how this image is graphically illustrated, I think the arrow I made with the sarcastic "Don't need Luxuries" works very well pointing at the woman without a sanitary product. I wanted to do this to make people stop and think what the message is behind this design. The only slight bother with this piece is the text is too close to the blood stain, I felt it needed a slight push over to the right so there's some space between the blood splat and the D for the don't. 

This here is the final design for this Billboard design, it is simplistic, it has some humour and sarcasm in it, it conveys a message about period poverty, to try and end tampon tax and most importantly end any form of period poverty. This piece works much better, where the text is looks much cleaner with the imagery and for me this piece works well. If I had to pick a target audience for this piece, I would probably suggest the government, men and people working in sex clinics etc.  For the targeting audience for this piece, the age group I would say for these designs is best for teens and adults from their 30's to 40's, due to the dry and sarcastic humour with a deep messages in these designs, I can't see people over 50 showing as much attention as they go through the change of not having a period anymore but at the end of the day you just never know. They may still feel strongly for women in poverty for sanitary products and for the homeless women in the streets who may not have the money for them.
