Project Poster 1

Click to enlarge Final Poser

This is my social awareness poster which was created to bring attention to Breast Cancer. My aunt was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2003 and was told by her Doctor that she only had six months to live. However, she battled through the disease and now eight years later she is in remission. I wanted to do this poster because Breast Cancer Awareness is a very important topic to me. I want people to educate themselves on the disease so they feel inclined to fund or donate to organizations which research possible cures. I want every woman diagnosed with this disease to be able to call themselves a "survivor" as my aunt now can. 


I took the boxing gloves off of google and put them in Adobe Illustrator. I live traced them at color 16 so they were animated looking. I copied them into Photoshop. Then I added text "KO (knockout) the Big C (breast cancer). I arched the "Big C" and i squished "KO" and did "the" in a different font. Next I added the slogan in the right corner and the BC symbol in the "C". 


Below are the two pictures I got from google and used in my poster. The BC ribbon which is in the "C" and the pink boxing gloves which I rotated and live traced and they are punching the "KO".
