Peace One Day Poster

I have created a poster to promote Peace One Day.
To start off I created a mindmap of which helped me to come up with ideas for thumbnails, the mindmap is about peace which comes in different forms whether it be a flower, object, symbol, colour, quote or location.

I got peer evaluation on my thumbnails by Katie and Nathan in a small group crit in which they selected my best thumbnail idea and gave me notes on it, they said what was good with the idea and what I could add to the idea to make it better. I found this very helpful because it was nice to find out what they thought about my idea and to give me ideas to think about when creating it.

I created this piece in illustrator using the pen tool to go over the image of a lotus flower, I picked a lotus flower because they are a beautiful flower in which represent peace and are themselves peaceful when they float in the water. I changed the brush stroke to marker smooth which gave a ink look making the flower look more beautiful than just line work, I then added a quote said by the founder of the company Peace One Day and thought this would be very suitable to go upon this poster. I added gradient to my text to fit in with the logo as well as using the exact same colours which are located on the logo. When the text was all layed out I then decided to set out the pattern of my flowers of which I would like nearly touching the type or the text going over the flowers. I have used both of these methods located at the top and the bottom of the poster.
