2. SASH
The poster sticks to a plain
colour scheme of white and red
but it is quite plain. Its bright
enough to grab peoples
attention but with no images
its not entirely eye catching.
The logo is the biggest piece of
text so people can maybe
recognize it if they have seen it
before. Homeless people could
know of the charity and take
notice of the poster.
3. Task 3
CrisisCharity
Crisis Homeless Charity
This poster uses real statistics
to highlight the important facts
about homelessness. The most
important facts have a
coloured background . It also
highlights the word
‘homelessness’ to make people
aware that the poster is about
homeless people. The poster is
quite plain but it gets its point
across.
Like the SASH poster it has no
images and uses text. It is also
quite plain in terms of the
colour scheme but the red and
yellow against the black really
stand out.
4. Shelter Charity
The colours used in this poster
are dark and dull to sort of
reflect on the fact the homeless
people have a dark and dull life
on the street. The paper suit
refers to how homeless people
use old thrown away
newspaper for shelter from the
rain or to sit on. It implies that
they cant afford a real suit and
have to make do with what
they can find.
This poster is different as it has
an image and a lot less text.
The colour scheme is a lot more
dull with only grey and black
and white.
5. The main focus of this poster is
the image which is quite
different and some people
could find upsetting. The
image shows a homeless man
on the streets and it could draw
peoples attention to it because
he looks upset and the fact that
his face is being zipped to he
floor is quite obscure. There
isn't a lot of text in this one
which I think draws more
people to because if someone
sees a poster full of text from
afar they might not seem as
interested in it if it had an
image. The text on this poster
still stands out as you can
clearly read it.
6. The SASH and Crisis poster have similar techniques as they both use a
lot of text with a basic colour scheme of two or three colours. They are
both quite plain and neither of them have any imagery. The Crisis
posters text stands out more with the black background and yellow and
red highlighted text. The SASH posters text doesn’t stand out as much
as the white text against the red background. The Shelter poster is a lot
different to the other two posters as it uses an image and a lot less text.
The colour scheme is a lot darker and dull but the newspaper suit really
stands out which could grab peoples attention and want to go over and
find out more. The Simon on the Streets poster has about the same
amount of text as the Shelter poster which makes it quite similar. Both
of the images are made to make the audience feel bad or feel sorry for
homeless people.
