Develop a poster that conveys the idea of the quote “Make Art not War”.
This poster shows a silhouette of a soldier’s profile with a red heart placed on the center of his head. Each word of “make art not war” is in a corner of the poster almost surrounding the soldier’s silhouette. Also, “make art not war” phrase works as background of the poster (since it’s the phase typed over and over again). I decided that I wanted the poster to include a soldier because it is what comes to mind when saying war. But in this poster I intended that the soldier didn’t communicate the idea of war but the idea of art. I tried to do that by placing a heart silhouette in his head. I decided to use red for the heart and the word “art” because it is positively associated with love. Also, to create a connection between them and to emphasize them being that the other elements are b&w. I created this poster in Adobe Illustrator when I was just learning how to use the software so it helped me discover a lot of the tools offered.
