nsHere is my first attempt at designing the typographical poster This is my first plan out which helps
me know how I want it like I used 2 different colours for the texts and old press font to make the type look old.
I used the Earth Kid font for the word ‘New’ and used the colors black white and brown and blue for background.
I used the Old Press font for the rest of the quote.

Firstly I found a quote I liked from a
director who's film's I have always liked,
the director was Steven Spielberg.
Next, I had to create a background by
getting a concrete wall, I then chose a
colour and merged them together, thus
creating a background. To create the text on my poster I went to
a website called www.dafont.com and
picked out different fonts of my choosing,
choosing a different font for each word.
Because I made each word a different
layer I was able to manipulate each word
individually. Firstly i changed the size and
orientation of each word. I then changed
the colours of the words, I had about 3 or
4 complimentary colours. For example in
my second poster I used a font for the
word 'time' that represents the look of a
digital watch
My Final Pieces
Poster Quote A Poster Quote B
Here are my two final pieces for the project called 'Creation'. I have taken two quotes about films and
movies and created two typographical graphic design
pieces.

on My favourite poster design is Poster
Quote B because i have used more than 1 font and the colours stand out more. You can also see the brick effect background more on Quote Poster B which isn't as clear on Poster Quote A.
If i were to do another one i'd like to do it in a retro look. I would make it black and white and find some retro fonts to put on it. This poster is made for young people who like bright colours and films

Thought: First, information
exists in the mind of the sender.
This could be a concept, idea,
information or even feelings. Encoding: Next, a message is
sent to a receiver in words or
other symbols. Decoding: Lastly, the receiver
translates the words or symbols
into a concept or information
that a person can understand.

Oral Communication: Referring to
spoken verbal communication, it can
also include visual aids and non-verbal
elements to support the communication process.
Non verbal Communication:
Referring to body language, posture or
facial expression. Written Communication:
communication has evolved through
continuing progression of technology. It
can be divided into three ‘revolutions.’
1. Writing in the form of pictographs
(not yet mobile.) 2. Writing appeared on paper, papyrus,
clay, wax (mobile) 3. Controlled waves (radio, infra red,
microwave.)
