K-12 Student Enlisting Posters

I created the following mockups for poster designs. I attempted to make a few so there would be more choices when the group decided which to use.

With this first one, I wanted to have an eye-catching, dynamic design. The slanted text is still easy to read, while still providing more visual interest than static horizontal text. The use of repeating square patterns ties the design in with the mechanical nature of the program it advertises, while the extreme, stylized perspective of the bridge makes the design more intense.

I drew this design as an option in case the angles of the first were rejected. This poster adheres strictly to a grid with straight horizontal and vertical lines. The crane was used as an interesting frame for the text whose trussing directly correlated to the program advertised.

The third design was meant to be an interesting play on perspective. Because it is a program geared towards bridging the gap between high school and college, I decided to make the figurative literal and put the viewer on a bridge. Not only does it speak to the future and a passage of one aspect of life to the next, the suspension bridge is also an excellent example of the mechanics the students will be studying.
I will take these designs and present finished versions in my next post.
