ELECTIONS

VOTE

For my poster, I decided that I would choose a cell phone. I believe that a cell phone strongly represents a high school audience because you rarely see anyone without one. People take their cell phones out absolutely anywhere and everywhere. The bold RED font stands out clearly, and also matches the little phone "talk" button in the bottom right corner. The call button in the corner stands out because it means, speak. This symbolizes that everyone has their own voice, and because everyone uses their cell phones everyday, and people use their voices everyday, then voting should be something you want to over power your voice for.

Poetry Cover

For my poetry cover, I decided that I wanted a nice warm and relaxing concept. Starting off with the eyes in the middle of the page, capturing a focussed look, the soft, deep purple eye color (which I added) really brings concentration to this image. Unlike any eye color, this brings beauty and uniqueness into my portrait. I related this assignment to myself because I was thinking, "What are my thoughts, and expressions ?" I thought about stuff that relaxes me. Candles are key to relaxation, the dim light that comes from them and warm unique smell that floats around in the air release's tension built up inside, and makes you appreciate the purpose of them. Sparks flying, loud crackling in the air, bright flying colors equals fireworks. It's a kind of relaxation that you may only see and hear once a year. Sitting down, looking up at the bright sky that has been lit up with color, makes you think about what wonderful creations, technology, and idea's people come up with. It also makes you sit there and say, "wow, how beautiful." The music note symbolizes the beauty of the music each and everyone of us listens to. The lyrics behind every song is always so unique, especially because music is a huge influence on today's culture. Lyrics in songs always have some kind of meaning, and a lot of people can and do relate song lyrics to their lives. Music is a kind of relaxation that everyone has a secret relationship with. I chose a book to paste on my poetry cover because although I may not read a lot, I know a ton of people who absolutely love it. Books are so amazing because the authors who have created these interesting, unique and creative stories light up peoples lives. Everyone's stories are so different, and they take the time to write them up and share them with us. It gives me a different respect for author's because I would never have the time or motivation to create a book. I chose to do all of the pictures a soft orange color because it seemed to be a good theme of relaxation. I centred and lowered the name of our school at the bottom, because I thought it balanced my picture out. I thought about pasting the not so relaxing things in life at the bottom, but then thought it would be way to much. Overall, I feel like I did a good job with the concept, and I love the layout of the finished product !
