Creating the poster : Arms around the child

Now I have done research not only into the charity but also into other ethically motivated artist such as James Vinctore I have now started to create my own poster. This poster will hopefully convey hard hitting facts in an artistic and emotion way. I first started by research four particular facts that I thought would make interesting images. These are the four facts I have chosen :

  • 1.2 million children are trafficked every year.
  • 151 million children are living homeless on the streets.
  • £20 a month can supply a child with all there needed school equipment. 
  • 10,000 children are injured or die each year from guns. 
From these fact I created four quick sketches to see how I would visually represent them, here are the designs I created  : 





From these sketches I decides that the gun had a clear hard hitting message that could be done simply. now I had decided I enlarged this image to make it look like finished picture here it is : 

Looking at this finished drawn image I thought that this would be displayed clearer in a digital format  I found a clear silhouette of a hand gun. such as this one : 

Now I had my base I had to add and edit my fitted text I chose to do this one adobe illustrator this was a simple step that only meant I needed to find the correct font. 

Here is what I ended up with to make this look more professional I need to add the extra touches such as a logo and possibly even an easy way to text in to donate. And here is the completed product :
