Assignment 4: Poster Design (Save, Prevent, Kill)

I decided to make this poster a comic one, giving a funny twist in the different diseases that plague us today.

Cow: Mad Cow Disease
Sheep: Mad Cow Disease (in actual fact, the cow contracted the disease from the sheep - they were fed the ground-up innards of the diseased sheep)
Pig: Nipah Virus
Chicken: Avian Flu

Fish: Disease Free! (Not accounting for those chemical toxins/oil spills)

So I came up with this, depicting heaven and earth, showing heaven with the dead animals and their halos. Below, the sky is darkened, and the fish is upside down, as if dying.

Comments from the tutorial class were that the dead animals look too happy in heaven (haha) and that the fish looks dead, that it can't be saved anymore. The idea was there, but the concept wasn't carried out well, they said. They suggested 'flipping' it around, showing the dead animals burning in hell or something along those lines.

I went back to work on it, and this was what I came up with:

It's like a cross-section of a cliffside, where the animals are buried as shown with R.I.P. gravestones. I tried to make use of gradient in colours to give the poster more life.

I hope this depicts it better?
