To start I sketched out a few ideas that could potentially work, however I wanted to see how these would work digitally. I started with the Adobe Photoshop Interface and placed one of the quotes onto a red background with black text, it read “ONCE ONLINE, YOU CANʼT TAKE IT BACK”.
I instantly knew that this wasnʼt effective in communicating cyber-bullying effectively due to the quote giving off a broad range of meanings. Next, I came up with the idea of a gun shooting cursors, but naturally this didn't work either. I then imagined the effects of the words that ' said and came up with my idea for the type only poster. A plain typographic image in the shape of a knife on a black background, I felt this worked well however it needed an extra layer of text to communicate the cyber-bullying message. My original typographic design (left image) didnʼt work as well as my final design with the text.
My other two poster designs worked on elements
of the shock factor. The image only poster shows
the detrimental effects of the aftermath of online
abuse in a stripped back graphical form. The
image and text poster again shows how online messages can hurt someone as ultimately the heart is
associated with someones feelings. Each image
was developed on both Adobe Photoshop and
Adobe Illustrator. The colours red, black and white
were all used as I felt that they contrasted with one
another and brought the raw image forward effectively. I added the mouses on as a final feature as I
felt the cursor alone wasnʼt effective enough in
communicating cyber-bullying itself. I printed the
images out onto A3 printer paper at first, however
the black came out not as I expected so I therefore
re-printed them onto better paper.
