Persuasive Poster

Our next assignment is a persuasive poster.  We are to choose a pure food and design a poster that persuade the audience to adopt you opinion on it, whether positive or negative.  I chose kiwi because I love it and want everyone else to love it too.  Today we had sketches due. For this I simply put my immediate ideas on paper and tried to expand on them to help the content relate.  From these I plan to continue on to my digital designs.

In one of the sketches below, I tried to come up with why a person would choose a kiwi over another fruit in a concise way and presented are the phrases I came up with.

Ange suggested using the idea of a kiwi bird and as promotional character in the poster so I tried sketching one out.  Unfortunately mine looks a little sad and slightly frightened.  If I go with this idea I will definitely need to do some research!

My next steps are to take pictures of kiwifruit, and start working digitally with my refined sketches and new ideas.  Stay tuned for my final design!
