Powerpoint on my final street art outcome (poster) and my evaluation.

stickers)

2. Sticker
The design of this sticker features a cartoon brain, that is represented as a thinking
bubble, which is ironic. The text reads “Thinking too much” which is supposed to
represent me. I coloured in the brain (thinking bubble) pink and made the background a
green/blue (turquoise) like colour as they are both bright and I feel they both compliment
each other quite well. Because they are both bright colours, this makes the sticker more
eye-catching which is a positive aspect if you want people to see your work and get
attention.

5. My Final outcome
My final outcome is based of my
original sticker that is basically just a
image of a brain that is just used to
represent thinking in general, like
imagination and just being able to
think how you like, thinking free which
can lead to positive thoughts.
However the “thinking too much”
poster is used to represent over
thinking, and that sometimes it can
get all a bit too much. I hope this will
spread a positive message as the
comparison between the “thinking too
much” poster and the other two show
that you can be a happier person by
thinking “free” and thinking “positive”.

6. Techniques and methods
My poster was nearly completely digital, that featured one piece of mixed media (producing the tag on a window,
taking a picture and tracing it on illustrator) I used the image of the brain from my original sticker as I wanted to
continue with that theme of the cartoon brain and the same colours. I used the line tool to trace over my tag and
the brush tool to draw new faces on my brain images and draw the text. I like the colours I have used because
they are vibrant and I think pink and the turquoise like colour compliment each other nicely.
Inspiration
My inspiration came from myself, and cartoons. I chose to focus on the subject of thinking because i believe I do
over-think quite a lot, I got the inspiration from cartoons because I portrayed the brain as the actual thinking
bubble itself to have a bit of irony in my poster and things In cartoons are often over emphasized therefore I would
put expressions on the brain to reflect the mood on how a person is thinking.

7. Who is my audience?
My audience is anyone who may need/want that reassurance that it is good to think
positive, the bright colours on the posters help support this idea because they aren’t dull
and dreary which might put people in a negative mind. I don’t want my posters to focus
on anyone specifically, they are made too just remind people, and effectively make
people “think” about the message and what the brain’s emotion portrays (anger, delight,
happiness, etc.)

8. Development
I took inspiration from my sticker, and carried
on the specific style for my poster(s). Because
I liked the cartoon image, I used the same
image of the brain/thinking bubble and
changed it around for 2 different posters.
This poster kept the original
design, but with the addition of the
tag, scattered in the background.
This one I changed the text to
“think positive” and to resemble
this I made the brain image look
happy. I also made the tag’s
different colours to be more eye-
catching
This one is simple, but still effective
because it features the tag and
another different design of the
brain/thinking bubble.

9. Development
Colour
= 3A9C99
I like this colour so I kept using it
throughout the development of my
posters. The colour is used for every
poster I’ve made.
I used the line tool to trace over
my window tag. “TC” stands for
Thomas Cavanagh so it
represents me.

10. Development
I decided to change one of my posters, as I thought is was too simple.
Therefore rather than changing it too much as I didn’t want all posters looking
too busy, I just added a few more layers of the tag. I went for the red/blue to
represent the common 3D look.

11. Original outcome
Originally I was just going to focus on one poster but then changed it too a series
of different posters I had too other designs, they were all going to feature the exact
same brain image and message but I eventually changed it so the brain had
different expressions and different messages so they weren’t just all the same.
Ideas come from any inspiration?
As already mentioned I pretty much just got most inspiration from myself and
general cartoon based things.for references I did look on google and saw some
simple images of cartoon brains that helped me get a general idea on how I was
designing my image.

12. Has it fit the purpose?
Yes, I think it has fit the purpose because it is very Street art like, and looks like it
has everything a piece of street art needs/has, for example the bright colours to
attract the audience, the illustrated images is very common in street art also.
Street art is used to spread a message across to it’s audience, which I have done,
or atleast make people think about what it means and is trying to express.
