This document summarizes different visual styles including steampunk, victorian, pop art, book cover art, and 20th century sci-fi. It then discusses elements of design for a science poster such as color schemes, font faces, taglines, and final choices. The creator chose a pop art style with bright colors, a sans serif font, and taglines related to reaching stars and soaring to new heights.
4. Pop Art
Characteristics of this style include:
- Comic style

16. Final Choices
I chose this colour palette for my final choice as it fits best with
my choice of poster and final theme, which is Pop Art. The first
3 fit the planet colouring, the blue background will act as a sky
and a pink font will contrast well against the background.
Science Poster - Century Gothic
I chose this font face as it is clear to read and looks similar to
other Pop Art text I found during my research of this style.
17. I have chosen to do this poster because I think it will appeal to both
male and female students. Saturn is a ‘pretty’ planet which
appeals to girls and rockets in space offer danger so appeal to
boys.
18. I have chosen to use to two tag lines:
‘Reach for the stars’
This represents the title. My reason for choosing this is that
planets are often referred to as stars so this compliments the
image in the poster
‘Soaring to new heights’
This represents an incentive to undertake A-Level Physics.
My reason for choosing this is that ‘soar’ and ‘height’ are
associated with the sky and planets are situated here, hence
there is a link to the both images in the poster.
