This assignment was to create a poster that raised awareness about the dangers of vaping/e-cigarettes. The instructions said to gear the poster to middle and high school students. The poster should raise awareness of the Pierce County ordinance regarding e-cigs. As I read through the ordinance there were a lot of items about where and when the e-cigarettes could be smoked. There was also a lot of information about the dangers. I tried to accomplish a middle ground. If the poster is geared toward middle and high school students it did not really lend itself to talking about where adults could smoke. For minors they cannot smoke them at all. Thus, my poster is more about telling the kids they should not smoke them, not where adults can.
Technical skills. I used Illustrator to create the artwork. I used the pen and tablet again and am starting to get a better feel of how it works. I used InDesign for the overall layout. I am very familiar with InDesign as I use it almost on a daily basis in my job.
I am happy with my poster. My goal was to keep it very simple so a student would read it. I did not want to come right out and say 'Don't smoke!" because I think they hear that enough. I wanted to present practical reasons why they should not. I like the overall look of the poster. If the information was provided I would have put more contact information on the poster.
Until later. . . don't smoke!
