A couple of weeks ago I started to research into statistics and facts surrounding technology addictions. After sifting through many images on various search engines it turns out that 90% of the images were using the same sort of idea for their piece of work (e.g Hands tied with computer mouse/ USB lead). So as I resumed the search I was specifically looking for things that have been said by people of a similar age to ourselves. I came across a image of various quotes by students at a university regarding technology and their excessive need for it and worries if it is one day taken away. (Attached) This got me thinking that we should use some of these quotes on the posters as the main feature because as I was reading them I was quite shocked at how many I could relate to. In my opinion, It is more powerful if we manage create a emotional response from the viewer just by using a quote that they can relate too than using images that have been used to death by other designers and will not stand out. What are your thoughts on this idea? This Idea also got me on the trail onto info graphics which we could be potentially developed into a poster idea? |
