Bullying Project

For this picture I layered a photo of a girl on her phone onto  plain background, I then used the gradient tool to fade the bottom into back. I then Layered the silhouette of a falling man on top and erased the background. I got a picture of bright orange smoke and then changed it from "normal" to "negative" which got rid of the white background and turned the flame blue. I did this three times and layered them on top of each other to swirl from the phone to the falling person. I found a bright orange heart and changed it to negative in order to delete the back ground and make the heart a nice shinny teal to match the swirl. I after this I added the bottom slogan and faded it out while adding on the blue glow around it. I used the eye dropper to pick up the color from the swirl and used it as the font color for the main statement. After that I added a very close and fuzzy black outline. With these elements combined I have contrast with the bright blue on top of black and white, It has alignment because of the words being stacked upon each other, repetion because of the consistant use of blue, and proximity because of the way everything is placed around each other. The message of this poster is that even though you dont see the person directly, the words you are sending out through your phone or computer can seriously hurt someone. It says "send" them down because you are sending messages out over social media or texting.
