Poster Designs

Always Posters

These posters were designed inspired by one of the main brands of pads, for periods and I made this design to make a point of making tampons and pads free same as Scotland. I wanted to fight to make sanitary products free of charge and end period poverty, I figured making some wordplay based on their most popular and recognisable logos I thought it would work well as a design for posters and potential sticker designs. 

Experimental Posters

Always

These designs I made on Adobe Illustrator, by using a typeface that is closest to the Always pads brand as a trial and error experiment to see what I can create, I think this worked well as a design concept for the simplicity and for the wordplay.and the design in general. I wanted these designs to be e-tickets, but unfortunately due to my printer playing up at the moment I am unable to print these as stickers but in terms of printing posters I am hoping I can print these in the uni I'm guessing these will be successful designs to back up with my campaign.

 

With this design, this was an additional experiment for this concept design for a poster design but I experimented further with the colour scheme so it looks like its in the similar aesthetic of the brand name for a popular Period Pad. 

This design here, I decided to experiment further with varied colour schemes, you could say this one can suggest steriotyping feminine culture with the colour schemes of pink, purple and white, to create the more feminine aesthetic for the design seeing as this product is for women, I wanted to convey the message make tamps and pads free always to end Period Poverty in the stereotypical feminine colours to emphasise a point to try and end period poverty. 

I experimented a design idea to add a splat of blood to this piece as. I thought it would add to the dramatic graphic effects, but unfortunately this design concept didn't work as well as I thought it did as I think the blood is too dominant against this piece and wasn't needed for this design. 

Posters

With these poster designs I wanted the posters to look like the packaging of sanitary pads, the text, colours and with the fact I have illustrated the pads for sanitary products, these posters are basically fighting to stop period poverty and to make sanitary hygiene items an essential not a luxury- as I say I see having items of hygiene of any kind is basically a human right in my eyes as I think women should have the right to sanitary products to prevent infections, viruses and to prevent embarrassment of bloodied trousers or skirts etc. I am hoping to print these designs as duplicate I hope to create a design of these as a placard and as a poster for campaigning for something I feel strongly about. 

"Feminine Luxury"

I created this design on Adobe Illustrator, trying to match the colour scheme of pads packaging design concept, which is why the main colours used were a light blue and a darker and more empowering blue to make the word "LUXURY" stand out from the page to replace the word always to luxury to prove a point. To make the sanitary pad look cartoon like as apposed to realistic aesthetic and then I added the two drops of blood to add the dramatic and graphic effects to this poster so you can tell visually what I am fighting for. 

"Feminine Luxury"

With this aesthetic I wanted it to counteract with the designs above to what I was hoping to be a sticker design but in a large scale poster using the same colour scheme, pink, purple and white so it gives the feminine aesthetic also. All I did with this design choose another colour scheme as a form of experimentation.

"Feminine Luxury"

With this design concept I tried to experiment further with colour schemes, this is because there are different colour packaging for the "Always" pads to represent pads just for during the day and ones for day and night, this is the ultimate reason for experimenting with the various colour schemes, the images of the pads I based these designs of my posters above on the packaging of pads below.

 

Period Pads (Always)

For me this design concept I didn't feel worked as well as the two poster designs above as the pink looks too dominant for the green to work well for me. I put those colours together as I thought it would work well because when you look at the colour theory wheel, for contrasting colours it says reds and greens work well together, maybe if I used a lighter green it might of worked better or tried a different shade of pink, but it was still good to experiment a little further with their colour scheme.
