Recycle Poster

For the PGC recycle poster we have to make i have been looking at some posters that have already been made and found some that i liked.  I like these 2 posters.  I like the one cause it makes the recycle symbol with water bottles.  I like the other one that makes the shapes but also makes a picture. Another  thing I like it is not all about green in them.  I think i am leaning more toward a blue poster or the majority a light blue.

Sketches- The slogan i picked for the poster is the Earth is your Fan if you recycle that can.  So I started to think of ideas on what my poster could look like.  i did not want the whole poster around the recycle sign so i started to think if i associated each of the important words with a picture.  So i started with fan and i was thinking about the little triangle things that colleges have that say the schools name on them and have them around the fan.  I also liked the idea of the can or a bottle for part of the n.  Although i did not want the whole poster around the recycle sign or green i could not completely ignore it so around recycle i was thinking to put the recycle symbol.  The other sketches which i did not like that much had the earth as the background and i just thought the other idea was better.

This is what i came up with.  I started with the background and i was thinking about adding some kind of trees or bushes, but i did not think they fit in that well so i decided to not do them.  I tried to keep everything big and fun so that no one has to walk up and have to stare at the poster for a while to figure out what it is about.  I tried to make the idea clear in the poster.

I made the fonts a little bigger and played around with the effects and this is what i came up with and i don't think it came out half bad.  I chose not to have the curved lines I think it looks a little better not having all the words curved.  I tried to add affects to the words so that attention would be drawn to them.   I like the look it ended up with because it is not the normal green sign that says recycle.  It has other aspects about it, but keeping the same ideas of recycle and green.
