Poster for London underground - Uni brief















so here is some research I have done for the project. these images are all posters used in the underground, as you can see they are all pretty simple. this is have found as people are moving fast in the underground so posters have to be eye catching and easy to take in on first glance. im planning to keep my work like these poster as if i have an over complicated idea it wont work as a poster. as the underground is a fast moving place so the posters have to be in your face, simple.

this is one of my first posters I did, its very simple, ive used colour paper to cut out  the images and have just used a felt pen to do the writing. I like it but Im not to sure about it.

one of the first, i dont like it as it looks like a small child has done it , might look better if i develop it.

the one before last, with this one I have try to keep the lettering simple by using stencils and just using the colour black makes the poster easy to read. Also by having the images of the stuff people forget or lose whilst on the underground it makes it eye catching. it still needs are few adjustments.

this is my final poster, its like the one above except it is on a black background and the images and lettering are in red. i like this one as it is what the brief wants and is very eye catching as its red, easy to read and gives all the info. by keeping it simple i have made it easier to come up with ideas that work well.
