Final Poster Design for Bullying Charity

Here I have begun my final poster design by opening a new page in Photoshop. I chose to change the color of the page to black, ensuring that my words will be bold and stand out against this black background. I then selected the 'Text' tool and typed 'WORDS'. I selected a text that was fitting to the subject at matter and chose white as my colour as it is bright and noticeable.

I finished typing my text. The phrase "words are weapons" is a metaphor to indicate that cyber bullying or simply name calling is hurtful and a form of bullying too. I used a picture of a gun too. This adds effect to the whole 'weapon' metaphor and gives a physical element to the poster. 

Here I have began adding 'newspaper clippings' of words that are associated with bullying. This is so that it is similar to my initial design that was drawn up in my sketch book. The fact that the words are newspaper clippings shows the importance of bullying as it is implying they are from headlines in the newspaper. I think this is quite powerful. 

This is my final design. The newspaper text clippings are surrounding the main slogan and the image of the gun remains. I think this is simple but effective way of getting my message across. It's straightforward and easy to identify the main message.
