Propaganda Poster

Luke Bettano - Feb 26 

    I created the Propaganda Poster above using adobe illustrator. The figure in the image is me, and I am promoting hydration. I chose to make a poster promoting hydration because 47% of Americans don't consume enough water, and staying hydrated is an important for health, and it is something a lot of people forget. I used the pen and pencil tool to create all of the layers for the poster, the first thing I did was recreate an image of me, that I really like, which is attached below. After recreating the image, I used the pen and pencil tool to create a glass of water and an ice berg. I used coolants.com to get text that matched my vision. I wanted the image to have an ice like feel because that is associated with water and hydration, and cold water is refreshing, so I wanted the poster to make the viewer long for refreshment, and to hydrate themself. I kept the background white, because like the drink of water, this is simple and easy and not complicated. I felt a simplistic, cool colored poster would do the job, I even changed my tie to be cool colored for this reason. I think it is important to remember to take care of ourselves and do little things like drinking water, and it is something non controversial. Another hydration poster that I like is also attached below. The pen, pencil, and coloring were enjoyable and not difficult to use, I enjoyed producing the poster above
