Relief Poster (social commentary)

For this we had to create two Relief Posters. We had to use the formal elements of art and design to express our opinion about an event or situation. We either had to change the meaning, enhance the meaning, or create a focal point using design. 




My first poster was based off the social issue of child soldiers. I decided to change the face of the original image and make a commentary of my own to stop the use of children in warring countries as soldiers.

Original image

I used cut-out AK-47 to represent children.

The tags act as IDs like a morgue would use.

My second poster was based on the idea that in the world we live in today we must stand and fight for our ideas. Innovation is the only way to progress and achieve what you want in society today.

I recreated the image adding a 3D effect. The
pencils fit inside the gun mag and have
inspirational quotes printed on them.
