Organ Donation

"Be The Missing Piece"

For my Organ donation poster, I chose to sketch a design and then add color and text with photoshop. I used the 2B for sketching and outlining so it could be erased easily. I chose a sharpie to clean up the lines and erased most of the sketches to purify them. Then I took a picture, traced it on photoshop, and added color and text. I experimented by using the tracing technique, where I could trace any picture on photoshop. My project evolved from a light sketch to a colorful poster.

I used color to emphasize the meaning. I used shapes by including the figures holding hands. I created contrast by making the figures black and white.

The idea of this piece is a person giving a missing puzzle piece to someone who is missing a puzzle piece because it relates to organ donation. The missing puzzle piece was supposed to be symbolism for a heart, and someone has the missing heart. I also used green for the background because it is the organ donation awareness color. I'm proudest of drawing the figures, I think I did a pretty good job making them fit the aesthetic of the poster. I struggled with making the puzzle pieces look normal although, but I focused on it and figured it out.
