Final Rebel Poster and Website

I have completed my poster and website for the "Rebel" graphic design assignment. I created a number of thumbnails and then chose three solutions to continue working on. From those three I decided that this poster was the most effective design which was visually interesting but remained informative and relevant to the issue.

I made this poster in Photoshop, using a variety of fonts and an interesting image to convey my message. The process I followed included finding an interesting image online which represented the issue of sweatshops and outworkers and making it slightly transparent so it wouldn't detract from the rest of the poster. I then developed a catchy slogan and placed it across the picture in a large, bold font, to catch the attention of the viewer. After using different fonts to add more information at the bottom of the frame, I added accents in yellow to match the $2 coins. i hope this poster is visually interesting while conveying a message about sweatshops and encouraging the viewer to make a difference.


I used a similar process for this design. I used many of the same elements of the poster, but converted them to a format that would work better for a web page. I converted the image to a horizontal format and added the text that I used for the poster. I then added a block of text (on a yellow background to fit with the rest of the design) containing more information about the issue and how the viewer could help.
The idea of this design is for it to be a guerilla web site splash page which pops up when accessing certain governmental sites. I wanted this web page to shock the viewer and prompt them to find out more and petition the government to stop the exploitation of sweatshop workers and outworkers.
