This week I was not needed in lesson so I decided to work on the poster. I made and empty template sat with my teacher and we discussed what needed to be added. The recurring problem when asking everyone about the poster people didn’t pick up that it was a toilet. To make it more distinctive I’m going to add some urine on the floor move the toilet role so you can clearly see what it is.

The final idea is the posters details will be on the bottom of the toilet door change the lock and move it up. To make the poster more quirky I wanted to add some funny elements like some rude graffiti and added arrows as a nod to the original show. One big problem I’m having is the legs at the bottom of the poster are too dark I need to find a new model with brighter trousers and more dirty shoes. The idea for the title I wanted it to look like scratches in a door so I looked at different fonts till I found the best suited for our show the I wanted the title to be uneven like the original.

Here is draft one of my poster. I added some funny bits such as ‘call soupy sue for a good time’ I put this in because when you visit public toilets people write messages on the wall, I wanted to give it that feel of a dirty public toilet to help with this I also added more pee on the floor and brought the toilet role forward more. I went around and asked everyone’s opinions they clearly understood it was a toilet door the one recurring problem was the legs even though I defined the trousers more it was still too much black. That is one thing I defiantly need to change. I changed the look to a clearer picture which said ‘engaged’ which meant it was occupied unlike the other lock.

Overall I am happy with the poster. I still need to fix’s some things like the legs I also want to add a plunger and the actual date and time of the show. Lastly need to take a new picture for the bottom of the poster.
