In my final poster, I have made some changes on the colours, transparence and the layers.

I have turned down the transparence of the birds that are not close with the letter “Who am I” as to make contrast of the letters and draw the viewers eyes to the middle.

I have also add some yellow lights on the largest bird, the letterforms and on the person to let the viewers know that something is happening with them but not those birds in grey colour.

Therefore, I think now the poster looks much better than the previous ones because there were no any highlights to show the main focus in those posters developments. However, I think I could also put some more colours in it or perhaps play around with the colour palette?

For my poster, I was also playing with the black and white spaces and still figuring out which one I should be choosing to finalise.

The idea of my poster is to show the progress of myself finding my identity and purpose to be in New Zealand, the bunch of birds represent the idea of migration and because there are lots of birds there, it indicates that I wasn’t actually alone, they also represent those people I met in New Zealand, such as my friends, schoolmates, international students, people who have helped me to get used to staying in a foreign country.

This is the draft and I am going to colour it soon, I think I could play more with the light and shadows in my poster, maybe putting some lightings on the birds? To reinforce my idea.

I honestly like the black one more as I feel like the white space gives me the feeling of the light in the darkness, searching for meaning. I have also added some small birds as the frame, but I think they might look a bit extra.

The left hand side is the before and after changes of thickening my typeface, the thicker one is my final typeface design.

The right hand side is the black and white contrast of my typeface, I actually like the white one more as it looks more like an actual feather.
