For my first draft of my poster I decided to try the Human body idea, similar to my burger idea and according to size references the percent of obese/overweight people in that country. I want to go for a very simple but effective theme that represents my title clearly and uses a variety of colours that will induce the readers attention. I drew a very simple sketch to represent my draft, and how it will look once I have created it, several ideas came to mind when drawing this up for example to keep to the theme I have decided to make the the title ‘Fattest’ out of food to make it clear and eye catching when you look at my poster.
Here is my first draft of my title and body, looking at my title I am very happy as it represents my theme as well as junk food which relates to obesity, to gain this title I used JPEG’s of food and traced the image in Adobe illustrator to ensure it was a vector graphic and the quality would stay the same no matter what size the poster is, I then used the trace tool and selected 16 colours to make it look ‘cartoonish’ this will be the same throughout my poster to make it aesthetically pleasing.
I used the same process when completing the body below however added a 3D effect to make the body stand out, as this is my first draft i will be improving on the body as Im not 100% happy with it, I will also be making each country different sizes according to the percentage of obese/overweight people in that country.
