For a first idea I looked into Minimal Poster design. This was very helpful as it gave me many ideas. It convinced me that using only one object or word can be just as affective as using a lot of detail. Using one or just two colours on a poster is very effective as it makes the message bolder and clearer to the viewer. Minimal poster design will be a big part of this unit as it is my research to look back on if I run out of ideas but can also improve some of my first ideas.
I find minimal poster design very interesting and sometimes humorous as I like the way it expresses something so meaningful with just one photo or object. For example this is one of my favourites as it is showing a plaster and at the bottom of the poster it says Edward Scissorhands, for those that haven't seen the film its about a man with scissors for hands. In some way this is funny to me as it is bringing a slightly sarcastic view of the plaster covering up a cut. Simple posters like this amuse me that is why I am going to experiment something like this for my British Values posters.
