Arrive Alive

The subject of my creation is a poster promoting safe driving. I started with the rhyme "Arrive Alive, Don't Drink and Drive!" I knew I wanted to include a crashed car to show the consequences of driving drunk. To make this poster I used sharpies for the bubble letters and Staedtler felt tip markers for the car and no Alcohol sign. To fill in the negative space I used color pencils to make a road and night sky. Principles of design I used were emphasis on the letters to make the message clear. Composition Rules and Techniques I used and lowkey lighting to make the scene dramatic. My project evolved from a plain blank poster with words and a crashed car to having a background and scenery. The relates to my life because I know how dangerous drinking and driving can be, not only to the driver but to innocent people around them. It's a very sad, but preventable.
