Final Campaign Poster - JUST SAY 'NO'

This is my final poster for my anti-smoking campaign poster. Before, the title for my campaign poster was 'Smoking Is Killing Me' because I thought it would suit according to my concept for my poster but due to changes I change it completely and made it into this campaign which includes images and background. Finally, the title is JUST SAY 'NO' to sound simple and short and the images are combined together like my first campaign poster but in different directions.

The images I took from an internet are the chosen images for my final campaign poster which are:




To start this campaign I used the ‘fireworks’. Firstly, I opened the ‘Fireworks’ and gave the same measurements for the size of my campaign poster like the planning of an initial design which I did in fireworks. The size fort eh width is 20 cm and the length is 22 cm. Then, I imported the chosen images from my folder in ‘Fireworks’ and saved separately in the layers.

I created my background which is a pitch black background which I used the paint tool and selected black colour and filled in the empty box-screen in ‘Fireworks’. Then, I edited the each images removing the background and parts like a guy smoking a cigarette is removed and a smoke from the other image is removed as well by using different tools like magic tool and rubber to erase it completely. Later the remaining images are combined together to make it into one to show the concept of this campaign poster. Then, I edited the images of an ashtray with a cigarette using tools like blur to make it little blurry and brightness/contrast tool to make it sharp and clear in looking at the image. As for a smoke which has the image of a floating skull I used tools like brush tool to make the change the green colour into grey and white and smoky colour, blur to make it little invisible and lastly brightness/contrast tool to make it sharp and faded image for the floating skull.

In my poster, the ‘floating and fading skull’ with grey colour describes the people who smokes heavily and terrorize their health badly will be lose their life eternally. As for the cigarette laid side in an ashtray shows that that the people are smoking a lot and not being aware of their life leads to deadly death. Overall, the poster images are joined in a way making a floating and fading skull which is shown as a smoke coming out from the cigarette which is laid side in the ashtray.
Finally, I used ‘Text’ to write my title using a font ‘CRACKED’ to make it rough and dangerous and a white and red colour for the title because of its black background it will be easier to see the written words and even it’s an anti-smoking campaign which the colours and font really stands out. As, for the website I used same font and the red colour also to stand out to my target audience. The main thing why I mention the website in my poster is to let people visit my website and find how it is and know more about anti-smoking campaigns I made as many young people are starting to smoke in their young age which includes adults too.

Yes, I meet my deadlines to begin my campaign. In creating this campaign it took 4 days to complete the final campaign poster. the camign poater evaluation took 3 days to finish which the campaign poster took nearly a week to finish to update. Normally none has stated anything for my campaign poster but considering many people to check out my camapign poster for an anti-smoking camapign in the blogger. I think my campaign poster is effective like it's trying to send out the meaning to the young people from age group 16 years and above indluding the adults to undertand that smoking is not about a buying apacket of cigarettes and smoking heavily everday or using it as a fashion sense that noadays young people do a lot to showoff. In my opinion, its bad to smoke but ther are times when you smoke a cigarettes you will feel at ease and relaxed like when you are feeling stress and lonely but many people are goping against thier limits using a lot cigarettes in aday to smoke which will cause a heart diseases and mouth infections.

If I would get to refine my camapign poster again I would not change a lot due to straightforward title and combination of different images which fits the camapign poster that I really thought of.

Learning to use the 'Fireworks', finding images from an interent and researching information about an anti-smoking campaign was a lot harder task to complete. It was a fun task to do by making your own campaign poster. There were a lot of planning for the Mandy's class doing different initial designs for the chosen campaign which I did an anti-smoking campaign and used the same poster for the Frank's course in the blogger too to make it easier for me to think and prepare a final stage for the final campaign poster I want.
