A3 Poster Proposal

I am basing this idea on an email that I received a while back in 2007. The images are quite graphical and the tag line is simple yet effective. I think that this style would work well for the poster because the majority of people walk past a poster and have a brief glance at it. In the short period of time that a persons’ eye’s make contact with the poster, the message of it has to be made instantly, or is otherwise lost.
Basically the images are of incredibly stick-thin models that make your stomach churn and want to eat for their sake. I think these images would be effective in the poster style because they would grab a viewers’ attention and really make them look at the images. These images would also work well because, unlike the anti-smoking campaigns with which we have been bombarded with and have now grown immune to, they are not constantly shown to the public. By showing them to the public, I think that the images will have a big impact on the way the viewer perceives really thin models, and reiterate fashion’s debate on the issue. Additionally, society hears about the “size 0 models” issue without much visual confirmation and this poster would provide that confirmation.

Carefully plan the composition. Make sure that the eyeline of the subjects in the poster where the poster would be posted will be at eyeline of the viewer. DON'T JUST GUESS WHERE THAT WILL BE! GO OUT AND MEASURE IT. It's not just an arbitrary placement. If you post if at a bus stand that decision will be different as say in a museum or randomly against a blank board.
